SW Pa beagling legend passes away. Please remember family i

Post by brush_hog »

Fred Will, who has been battling cancer, passed away on Christmas Eve. He has been a source of top-notch dogs, endless amounts of knowledge, and great company for a long time. Most people from southern Pa know of Fred and his contributions to the world of beagling. This man was in the woods (or fields), literally, about 340 days out of the year. In addition to being an exceptional hunter and sportsman, he was a great husband, father, and friend. He will be sorely missed by those who know him. Please keep his wife, Pauline, and his sons, Brett and Shane, in your prayers. On the bright side, his suffering over. Rest in peace, Fred.

Always sad to loose another beagler... :(
His hounds and stories from his friends will keep his memory warm in the hearts of those who knew him.
Condolences to the family and friends...

My son Adam and I knew Fred through beagles and work. He was always working to breed a better Beagle. Fred worked hard with his dogs and improving rabbit habitat. The Beagle community lost a great one.
