Fred Gould

The BBQ World lost a priceless ambassador of the sport this past Friday night. I just found out yesterday and to say the least I was floored. The news spread fast as I talked to many who compete, and the mood with all was sadness.
Fred was as about all the contest we have ever done in some form or fashion. Be it rep, meat inspector, or just there hanging out, he was always seen with a smile on his face and always met me with a firm handshake.
I'll will cherish his memory and I will find it hard to keep myself from looking for him at contest as we begin in a few months.
Our thought and prayers are with Linda and family during this hard time. His memory will be with us always. God Speed my friend.
