Sending sincere condolences to the McMahon Family. So enjoyed Freddie and getting to know him during my memorable years in Charleston, 2003-2021. Fred and I met on the Maybank Tennis courts, and enjoyed and engaged in many years of afternoon matches, and practice sessions. We always had a good time on the tennis court! Fred was a southern gentlemen, very intelligent , possessed a wry humor , unassuming, heck of a good athlete, and undoubtedly will be missed by so many! Here´s to you...

My Deepest Sympathies to The McMahon Family! I have Fond Memories of our time together - Terrific

Jerry Our sincere condolences to your family. Freddy was a great guy with a great spirit.

Jerry, we are so sorry to hear of Freddy´s death. He was always the gentleman with a smile. These last years have been more than difficult. Sending our prayers for comfort. Raymond & Maria Campbell

Freddy will be dearly missed. We were neighbors who grew up together on Grove St. Once I even started a club "The Grove Street Tigers" me Freddy sister Judy were charter members. Actually we never did anything, but we had a name, just in case. I followed Freddy pitching and playing first base on Hampton Park teams. After graduating Clemson in '63 and then Navy OCS we lost contact with each other but somehow bumped into each other at memorable times. A favorite was seeing Freddy after...

Judy, Jerry and Family my thoughts and prayers are with you, Freddy a wonderful man is in Heaven, your Angel, he will always be with you. Love, Helen Pye

Fred & I served together in the 357th Arty Detachment in 1962-63 at Ft Bliss and in Germany. We camped out at Oktoberfest in 1962; drank beer and liberated a few steins.
We maintained irregular contact since then and called last week to hear about his death. We met during a visit to Charleston, one of my favorite places. My remaining contact from the 357th is Richard Love in Texas, who I visited last year. We had an unusual assignment and many unique experiences !!!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. RIP Fred you were a kind and humble man.

Anyone of my generation who played on Hampton Park, or attended Bishop England High School, felt that Freddy, Judy and Jerry were extended family. Fortunately, for Kathy and I, those relationships only grew stronger through the years.
All the guys admired Freddy as a great athlete and competitor, all the girls like him because he was so good looking. He was a kind and gentle man and will be missed by all. Mike Duffy
