It has been my privilege and a great blessing in my life to know Freddy as I have served in the Developmental Center Ward. He was always so eager to participate in passing the sacrament and in our monthly program. I will miss him greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Why did EVERYONE that worked and volunteered at the Developmental Center know Freddy? Was it because he was always one of the first to participate in any activity--no matter if it was work or play? Was it because his mother continually came to visit Freddy at the center and we all became infected with her same love and friendship for Freddy? Was it because Feddy was always ready to tease (or be teased by) his good friends?
I'm sure it was all those reasons and more. The thing that's amazing is that Freddy--a man who could barely speak--was a true celebrity at the Center. And now the Developmental Center will never be the same without Freddy.
But we'll always remember you, Freddy. And we'll keep telling Freddy stories.
Thanks, Freddy. We'll always love you too.

I've worked with Freddy for a little over a year. I worked the midnight shift and even though I only would see for a few minutes in the evening, I enjoyed the time I spent with him. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family.
