Fred Hayes of METTCO fame passes

[Paul Danik]

It is with great sadness that we pass along the word that Fred Hayes of METTCO fame has passed away. Fred's wife said that he passed away last week from complications from a stroke.

Fred was one of the nicest folks one could ever want to meet.

The link below will take you to Fred's website which contains some interesting photos from days gone by as well as much info about his many other accomplishments.
