I only knew Fred a short time, but loved his sense of humor and his kind nature. He had the respect and love of all who knew him. Hopefully, Fred and Maury are together again - quiet friends.

Even though my heart is heavy today, I have to smile as I remember the old days. You were a character, I'll say that. And you had such a generous nature. I'll miss you, as will so many others who knew you.

I am deeply saddened by the death of Fred, I was Fred's neighbor on 30 Street. We passed each other every day
riding in or out of the neighborhood. Sometimes if it could not be avoided we waved or made small talk. Fred took extra care of Diane Betty and his house, front yard and always minded his own business. Fred I just wanted to say friendship is forever Until death, did we part Although your away physically You’re always in my heart
My condolences to the family with Love Jamal, Rinad, Michael, and Luvenia
