Read MoreI dreamed about Fred this morning, along with other folks who worked in the food service at Queens. Decided to Google him, and found this sad news. I enjoyed working with him and am so sorry he has been gone for nearly four years. May his family continue to remember Fred with love and happy memories.

Fred was the one who would light up the room as soon as he walked in the door. He definitely loved life and especially loved people. The mention of the people closest to him (wife and daughters) lit up his face with the biggest smile.
Saddened by the news of losing him, I am glad to have known Fred and like many others, have some funny and memorable stories we can carry with us. Till we meet again! RIP Fred.
Prayers for peace and comfort to the Formichella family.

I met Fred when I worked at UNCP for 12.5 years. Fred was such a character and a sharp dresser! He always made me laugh when he called my boss. My heart goes out to all his loved ones during this awful time, and I send my sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

To the Formichella family, may God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Thank you for sharing Fred with us; his energy, his passion, his laughter, and most importantly his leadership and mentorship to those of us in the contract foodservice management industry. He was truly a trailblazer!

Back in the 80's I lived in Charlotte, NC. Fred was one of my close friends. He always brought laughter and fun when we were together. My husband and I have such fond memories of times shared with Fred on vacations, at the beach... and so much more. I wish we had stayed connected. Clearly, Fred lived a wonderful life and gave back to others with a generous heart. May he rest in peace!

So hard to put into words ... but somewhere between big brother, business partner in crime, and dear friend I could always find Fred. Larger then Life is truly a perfect description of a man who heart was that open. My memories are treasures now. He loved big and couldn’t share enough love of Janet, Anna and Catherine “always in touch watching over” and Remy his newest playmate was a true delight to him. Girls he is watching over you Now and Always that will Never Change.
RIP MY DEAR...
