Mr Goldspinner was unforgettable, a truly inspirational teacher. He was the influence in my engineering path. I will ever forget how he believed in me even more than I did in myself and he never gave up on me. I worked harder because he made me want to, wish I could tell him that today.

Fred was a unique individual with an extraordinary talent. Using the perfect mix of knowledge, passion and humor he helped countless students discover the magic of our physical world. The legacy of great teaching lives for eternity; I'm living proof as I frequently find myself passing on to others what Fred taught me. God bless you Fred, my teacher and my friend.

Freddy, you were the best friend anyone could have..so much knowledge, so much fun, and I remember all the trips to New York, to visit your Uncle, and your Aunt..Coney Island, and your favorite chow mien sandwich.The many holidays at our home, and the ones at Burt's place. The trip in the middle of the night to rescue my friend Gail . The specter we both saw, crossing the street by the golf course in Huntington...So many good times, but always an adventure. I will miss you, but Never forget, my best friend Janice and Ashley Magalas

I worked with Fred in Trumbull in the mid 80's. He was a wonderful man and mentor. I wish that I had stayed in touch with him. He has a special place in Heaven! Rest in Peace Fred.

Lenny and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you in this time of sadness. It was our honor in providing services at home for as long as we could. He was an inspirational man that I will never forget. All his jokes and story telling that he preached. I will always remember him from Bullard Havens as he walked down the halls as a proud and handsome man. May all the blessings be with all of you. Rest in Peace Fred. Much love always. Rose Mannino Home Instead Senior Care.

Dear Uncle Freddy,
I will forever cherish our time together, the lessons you taught me, the patience and passion you showed me in learning whether it was dismantling a donor car (good old Valiant) or removing a fuel tank, stuffing 100 trees into a wagon (Eddie do you remember that!!) or jambing out to Neil Diamonds "Hot August Summer Nights" you were my friend as much as my uncle - thank you for trusting in me - I will forever miss you - rest in peace may Dad and Amie be with you - I love you - ALWAYS !
