Very sad day indeed. I helped him a couple of times at the races even though he really didnt need it. I was trying to learn some things about the Cobra Jet cars. He gave me the hood for my 70 Challenger.
RIP

Fred was one of those guys you never forget. One of the most important qualities someone can be remembered for is how they treated others while on this earth. Fred was meticulous, smart, kind, and one of the most genuine individuals we have had the pleasure of knowing. Our sincere condolences to his family and all those affected by his passing. GODSPEED Fred.

I still own and drive a truck I bought from Mr. Henson back in late 2002. I didn't know him or meet him until maybe early 2007. I was parked in the north side of the Tx Motorplex gravel pits. I thought I was on the furthest east end I could get. I was sleeping late one night and heard someone banging on my door. It was Fred! I had a POS generator that was less than ECO friendly. He parked close to me and the fumes set off his Carbon Monoxide alarms. When he told me what was happening all I could say was (Sorry Mr. Henson). That was way before we were mandated to have exhaust stacks. He must have been one of the first people I knew of that had an Alarm. Very classy guy with very cool cars. It was always cool to see what he was going to bring to the next race.

Fred was a good man and it was our benefit to call him a friend. God Speed
