Freddy's passing comes as a great shock to me. My memories go back to Spencer Street in Ithaca and those yearlt in the early 1980s. He was a good man and I am sorrowed to learn of his passing.

The memories I have go back so far and run so deep...From Spencer Street and working at the Divi to Lampila Road and Fred giving me shelter and a place to be when life just ended. He was truly one of the sweetest people I have ever known and I'll never be able to watch the Weather Channel again without thinking of him; whenever I plant something in a garden I'll hear him telling me how to do it; I owe him so much for teaching me the most important things about life..love, family and keeping...

Fred was a person who knew how to make someone smile. Whether through his quick wit or funny stories. He was a great horseshoe player and bowler too. I'll miss him very much. My condolences to his family.
