NEWPORT NEWS — Fred S. “Big Fred” Dulaney Jr. died Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2020.
Fred retired from Newport News Shipbuilding in 2010 after working in the X-15 steel fabricating department for over 40 years. When Fred wasn’t watching wrestling or The Waltons on the couch with a Pepsi, he was driving his Chevelle, following his son in his Camaro to a car show. Big Fred was always laid back and “taking a break.”
He was preceded in death by his wife of 40 years, Sandra; and daughter, Christy Dulaney.
Survivors include his son, Brian Dulaney, and his wife, Tabitha; grandchildren, Noah and Abrie Dulaney; sister, Pat Kernodle; brother, Curtis Dulaney; and several nieces and nephews.
