Freddie proudly served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He was a very talented plasterer who was in business for himself. Freddie loved his family, the Pirates, the casino and gatherings for the holidays. Freddie loved inventing games that he only knew the rules to and spent time figuring out how to cheat at them.
