Not sure what to say?

I got to know Fred when we had him guest at the Hampton Ponds Open a golf tournament sponsored by the Hampton Ponds Assn. Then we played in and won his "Fred King Open" a couple of times at EMCC.
The "Dan and Fred" show was a riot and I was upset when it was removed.
I got to know him as person and friend later on, we played golf together. He was always a pleasure. A radio icon. I miss him.

A great radio personality in the Springfield area,he will be sadly missed. I always enjoyed listening to Fred for many years. Keep broadcasting in Heaven.

Fred King was a legend on the radio in the Springfield Massachusetts market. I really enjoyed listening to him on WHYN AM 560, WRCH FM 100.5 and WARE AM 1250. When he was on WARE, I won $100 on one of the contests that was held by the station. I had the chance to meet him in 2004 at the Springfield RV Camping & Outdoor Show when WARE did their live broadcast. The Springfield Massachusetts radio market will not be the same without Fred King. May he Rest In Peace!
