Frederick F. "Fred" Willis III

I´m sorry to hear about Fred´s passing, I was just thinking about him and thought I´d look him up, I haven´t seen Fred since I was like 12-13 years old when he played for the Houston Oilers, I used to go with a family friend ( Joe Dugger) to the oilers training camp & games, I do remember how super nice Fred was to me & I´ve never forgotten about him! God Bless his family !

I just heard of Fred's passing and very sorry for your loss. Fred was legendary in New England sports in the 1960 and 70s. He set a great example with his leadership as a student-athlete. I recently learned of Fred's efforts to make contact sport(s) safer by promoting and acknowledging a more aggressive concussion protocol. Ever to Excel...Fred always lead from the front and by example.

Fred please RIP. You were so wonderful to my family. I was honored to know you.

Fond Memories of our HS Days @ Marian. Sleepovers in Natick & Marlboro & out trip in RT's car to play hockey in Maine. RIP

My father worked with Fred when he was with the Houston Oilers always spoke of him fondly. Had the honor to meet him when my Dad asked him to speak at our school. Some classmates have reached out with the same memory when they heard of Fred´s passing. He left a wonderful mark on all our lives down here in Houston.

I didn´t know Fred personal much. But he seemed to be a good guy.Outstanding football player! May God be with thou´s let behind and have many great memories of a husband,father,grandfather and friend! Ron Pritchard
