Oh my gosh..I am so bummed, it seemd like a few weeks ago that last saw Freddie driving down the street. I can't believe Freddie is gone; I loved Freddie; he was such a kind nice guy who always had a smile on his face. Met him during his residency . God speed ! RIP

I'm embarrassed to say that I just today heard about Dr. Herrera's passing. I assisted Dr. Herrera and Dr. Wilhite on numerous surgical cases years ago. Since I've been in practice in Memphis, we have worked together on several occasions. Its been a privilege to call Freddie friend and colleague. Remember all the good times. Freddie would have wanted smiles and happiness and rejoicing for his Peace. God Bless... Dr. Hendrix

One of the only things that makes this any easier is seeing the messages from his patients and how he did such important work. He was an amazing man no doubt and I miss him so much already. Thank you all for your kind words.
