This site is dedicated to the loving memory of Fred Dobney.  Fred was born on December 4, 1943 and was raised by his mother, Flossie, in Waco, TX.  He was an intellectual and deeply caring man dedicated to family, friends and his profession.  He enjoyed life's simple pleasures and woke up every day with a smile on his face. He was an avid reader and sports enthusiast playing tennis, handball and golf in addition to a good poker game with friends and going to the casino.  He would say his greatest accomplishment was completing a marathon in New Orleans. He also enjoyed watching football, basketball and Tigers baseball with a cold Diet Dr. Pepper.  Fred loved to travel and experience new places and cuisine. His wit, humor and easy going Southern hospitality made everyone feel comfortable around him.  He will be deeply missed and in our hearts and souls forever.  Fred passed away peacefully on August 19, 2016.
