I am a distant relative ( kind of) of your crazy and wonderful family. I married Richard Hagy, the son of Charles and Thelma Hagy. Thelma was Odessa´s sister and therefore Fred´s sister-in-law. I first met Fred in Lynch, Ky. while staying with my in-laws. Fred and Odessa came to visit. What a wonderful man. He could make anyone laugh...... and did! His storytelling and joke telling was spot on. He also invited us to his house in Maryland. We went and it was gorgeous. We had the best time ever. My favorite joke for those of you who were lucky enough to hear Fred tell it was...... Dippy, Dippy, Dippy in the New Blue Cheer. Everytime we would see him my mother-in-law would have him tell that joke .... along with others . We would laugh until we all cried. I can only imagine how much you miss him. Here´s to the family - may all your memories be happy ones

Fred was a special man, as everyone knows. When I met my husband, Richard Hagy, and was introduced to Fred, I felt like I had known him all my life. He had a phenomenal personality and could make anyone laugh - especially my mother-in-law, Thelma. She along with the rest of the family LOVED Fred. His jokes were not always funny - but with Fred telling them, they were funny! Anybody remember - dippy, dippy, dippy in the new blue cheer...................... I won't say the rest of it. It was funny! He was funny! And he will be missed. God Bless him.
Hopefully, he, Richard, and all the other family members have reconnected, and are having a good old time!!!!!!!!!! My thoughts and prayers to Debbie, Donna, and the families.

I met Mr Greene the first day I was on the Racing Commission.
He set the standard for honesty and integrity for me from that day forward.
He was a true gentleman.
