I am very saddened by the passing of Freddie Wingate. He will be missed immensely. He was the type person when you met him, he was forever your friend and he had many - everyone loved him!
I first met him at the Shipyard (Nuclear Pipe Shop) where he was a material expediter. He said if I ever needed help to let him know and he would be there and he always was.
My heart goes out to his lovely wife and family.
God bless you all,

Candy, I know that it has been year's since we have seen each other. But Living away from home I probably check the Dailypress everyday. I was saddened to see "freddie" picture in the paper. I know this is a tough time for you and your boy's. I want to leave you with some words of inspiration and encouragement. Remember “Death leaves us a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.”I will continue to keep up and your family in prayer.

Freddie Wingate was the first 'Big Guy' I met at Hampton High back in '66. He was always kind to me and a good friend. I have always thought he would be around forever and he will in my mind and heart. He will be sorely missed by those who know him. My condolences to Candy,Freddie Jr.(III)and Rush. His brother ,Bruce, is one of my oldest friends and I share his loss.
