Not sure what to say?

I think of you every day. I miss you and love you dearly xo

It's been a year since you departed. I'm thinking of you now and have many times prior to this thought here. We had so many great talks and a couple mc rides along the way. You lived life on your terms and you were authentic / a real person every moment. I miss you 'The Master of Fast' Words do not convey how the Heart feels or expresses itself. I Love You Freddy ! Stream out :~)))

God will Bless his soul. He already had it. I was a former student and friend of Fast Freddie. He taught me how to add more flare to my church music. I appreciated the home studio practice time and dinners at Jerry's Deli.

I knew Fast Freddy well. Spoke with him regularly. A great individual/human. A true master of his craft. Brother, I am still challenged daily with your crossing to the Perfect Place. I'll look forward to seeing you again on the flip side. I Love You Fred

My dearest Paisan, No one will ever comprehend the magic we shared in our musical connection and our journey together. The fact that we came from Italian Immigrants made us instant family. I love you and will keep your wisdom in my heart and mind for eternity. You inspired me & taught me so very much. Sono molto fiero di te.

Rest in Peace Freddie. You are reunited with Andy, Harry and Teddy... to name a few. The heavens will have wonderful music... God Speed.

I didn't know Fast Freddie, but I followed his music in the late 70's and early 80's. Bands like Junction West, Weekend, Rt33 and Fat Brat were synonymous with the Buffalo Music and Night Club scene. They were laden with talent and original music scores, so unlike the synthesized stuff of today. Rest in eternal peace sir, and thank you for the memories.

So sorry to hear this !! RIP Freddy see you and Andy on the flip side
