OMG I just heard. Uncle Fred was our hero when we were kids. Some of my earliest memories are of him building a sledding hill in our back yard on Violet Ave. in Poughkeepsie.

Fred was one of my coaches at Tigers Fantasy Camp 2003. He invited anyone to visit his home. We (Debbie) & I visited his entire the yr one of his children was married at his home. I videotaped the entire day and made copies for the family. We enjoyed Fred & Judy's hospitality. Beautiful family Thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Dad & Mom are back together

I enjoyed our times together while Fred was with the Twins. I loved his free sprit! Good memories
