Not sure what to say?

Our sympathies and thoughts are with you at this most difficult time. Freddy was the kindest man, and he will be deeply missed by everyone he touched. The world lost one of the great ones on New Year's Day 2017! Love, Audrey and Michael Freedman

Thelma, It saddened me to read of Freddie's passing. I always enjoyed when both of you stopped in to talk. As you know I am away and will not be able to attend Freddie's service, but my thoughts are with you. Doug (Beachcomber)

Wow, how does one sum up in just a few words the impact Fred had on those around him? I grew up across the street from Fred, Thelma, Meryl and Diane. Thelma and my mother were the closest of friends as were Diane and I, Meryl was our babysitter, and Freddy, the friend you called when you needed absolutely anything. He was kind, funny, and always there to lend a helping hand. He and Thelma loved to travel and took my mother Sylvia (may she rest in peace) with them on some of their adventures....

I consider myself very lucky to have met Freddie and was able to call him my friend. Trips to Brigantine always had to include our visit with Freddie and Thelma. He had such wonderful stories to tell us and always had a little gift for each of us.
Freddie always remembered each of my family and always was interested in how they were doing. He will truly be missed
I'm thankful for wonderful memories.
