To Cato's Family,
My deepest sympathy at your loss. He will be missed at FRED transit.
Cato was a wonderful man, That I will miss..We shared alot of laughs !!! One of my funnest memory, was one morning at Fred..Another driver had brought in a cage and told us that he had a mongosse in it..all of had gathered around tring to peek in and see what was in the cage !!!! Next thing we knew the cage sprang open and a fussy something came out at us...Well let me tell you Cato did not let any grass grow under his feet, he plowed out the back of the office taking out a driver on his way!!! I dont think he stoped till he came to the parking lot !!! We laughed every time we talked about it!!! I will always remember him, and the way he always had a smile for you, God Bless you all

Cato's Family,
There could not be a kinder, gentler soul on God's earth. He was a joy to work with and always had a smile on his face for everyone. I will never forget him and you can bet he will always be remembered at FRED. You are in my prayers. Rest assured he is with the father and son in heaven.
Dear family of Cato,
I worked with Cato, what a pleasant man to be around. We spoke the last day he worked. We both were driving and met at Ukrops. He asked about doing the early morning runs, what we call VREs. He was saying how difficult it is getting up so early. He didn't want to complain, that was Cato, he never complained. He was always smiling and soooo friendly. I never heard him speak unkindly about anyone. We at "fred' miss him. Please know that I am praying for you and your family through this time. Hold on to each other and I pray that you find some comfort in knowing he was a wonderful man to many people. patricia tichenor
