Freddy and I were childhood friends spending many a day playing and hanging out together. When you live in a rule area your next door neighbor is sometimes a mile away and we had to walk to each other's house. I sent some much time their that I even called his grandmother, grandma. Freddy and I joined the Cedar Hill Fire Department together and as years past and we became older we went our different ways. I hadn't seen Freddy for many years. He has gone on to accomplish so many great things in his life. I had just learned of his passing yesterday. Freddy you will be missed but will always be in our memories.

Freddy was my cousin, he was raised by my grandparents, that meant he had to put up with all the cousins coming over to visit and going in and messing up his room and getting in his stuff. I don't remember him ever being mean to any of us or acting like he would rather we just stay home. I remember him always being involved in church and playing the piano and organ so beautifuly. He was always more than happy to let us tag along to church with him. I am so happy he found Ann who loved Fred and became his family, something I think Fred always longed for. God Bless you Ann I hope you find comfort in the days ahead, I hope you stay in touch, and want to thank you, Freddy had a beautiful funeral! Call me anytime let me know if there is anything you need or if you need to talk or yell or whatever (314-775-8372).
