Not sure what to say?

Mr Swearingen was a very honorable man. He was pleasant and had integrity. I met him at El Camino Country Club in Oceanside where he was member.

Fred was my boss at the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce. He was kind, very witty and a legend. I remember Johnny Unitas stopping by! When I got married-he made a call to the hotel we were going to be staying at in Lake Tahoe. When we arrived for our honeymoon-we were told our only bill for week would be tips! I was astounded! Thank you Fred for all you taught me, the many hours of wisdom and your phenomenal sense of humor. God has you now.

I wasan NFL official in same era as Fred. We were never on a crew together but did for a pre-season game together in 1967 in Cleveland. He was a fine official and will be remembered well by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. May he rest in peace.

Dear Jane - Your dad served on the Bunker Hill with my father, Deane Avery. We used to look for him watching the NY Giants when we were little watching the game with Dad. Somehow his name came up tonight.My husband brought it up - and I can't believe he died just 10 days ago! Haven't mentioned his name in years until now. My father died in 2010. Devine intervention I'm sure!

Condolences from Cousin Mike Walsh. Hit em straight.

A good long life. Love to Jane & family.
