So very sorry hear of Fred's passing just now. His service in so many ways to Sons of the American Legion Squadron 503 is greatly appreciated and I enjoyed serving with him as an officer of the Squadron. Rest in Peace, Fred.

Sweet, kind, gentle is how I remember a little boy who stayed the same as an adult. To Linda, Kathy and Joyce, my dear cousins and their families: my heart is heavy for you. Parents passing on is devastating yet we expect that to happen one day. To lose a sibling is unimaginable sadness. May your grief be short and your good memories of Freddy be long. God truly gained another angel.

Fred and I lived almost back to back in the late 60s. We lived on Shelby Ave. and he lived on Jeffery. We spent our jr high and sr high years hanging out together. I was the one that helped Fred get his Donnelleys job. Glad it worked out for him. I moved out of state and lost touch with him but I saw him at the 2018 class reunion. Seems like we're all dropping off. I've outlived my dad by 8 years allready. Sorry to hear about this.
