Not sure what to say?

Oh, "Freddie" your legacy will live on forever in all the good that you did. Your sports achievements, your wonderful smile and your devoted friendship. I will never forget all of the fun that we all had together. Hoping that one day we will all be reunited. May God hold you close in His Heart.

You know those people in your life that your sure you're going to see again...??? Yeah. Even though we only saw each other once a year or so and maybe only yelled a greeting across a parking lot.. there was always a "heart smile" in it.. seeing Fred around made me happier. I miss you man and I think about you more than anyone will ever know.

Freddie, you were such a Wonderful friend!! We had SO Many Wonderful Times back in the day!!! Cave Hill Rd, Cranberry Pond. I always looked up to you as an older brother. May God bless your beautiful soul and bring comfort to your beloved❤❤

I am so very sorry to hear of Fred's passing. Judy, Eric and Nicole, you are in my prayers. Love to you all, "Miss Z"

I learned today of Fred's passing from my brother Bob. I am saddened to lose my class mate, particularly someone as charismatic and talented as Fred. I have always been in awe of Fred's athletic ability. From the first time I met Fred in Mrs. Johnson's fifth grade class right up through High School, Fred WAS the athlete! No one else came close! He was a joy to watch, so smooth, so explosive. Fred may be gone, but he will live on in our memories and what great memories they are.

Will miss you cousin Ricky and all the fun we had at the university. Stay well Judy and love to you and your children.

Dear Judy & Family, I am so sorry to hear of Fred's passing. He always made a point to say hi and share a smile. Thinking of you all during this difficult time.

Freddy loved life. Upon meeting him that was clear by the warm glint in his eyes. I was in many of his classes from elementary school into high school at ARHS. We were in the same Home Room' in Junior High. Freddy had quick feet and a quick mind and oh, that smile! A smile that let you know that he was truly generous and kind. Between innings, after I booted a grounder at second base in a rec baseball game, he sat down where I was sitting, tapped me on the knee, and told me don't worry, you...

I have known Fred and his family for many years. Fred was a guy that I always felt happy to see and talk to. We had a lot in common and laughed at the same dumb things. He would visit the skydiving community at the airport often and everyone there valued him as a friend. Going to miss you.
