To Freddie's family and friends,
I remember Freddie from Madison High School, fun, cute and totally a loveable guy. He lit up a room with his presence. In the brief time we are here on earth, Freddie was a very special person who touched many lives. He was one "heck of a guy"
With heartfelt sympathy,

It was really shocking to hear that Freddie passed away. I went to school with him at Madison and worked with him for a number of years while I drove a truck at the Roll Shop. We had a lot of good times. He always had a smile, and a funny comment. I'll always remember his laugh. My heart goes out to his wife and children, and the rest of the family. I know he will be truly missed.

We were neighbors of Fred and Bonnie's for several years; they were always gracious and giving. Fred was a great over the fence kind of neighbor. Take care Bonnie - we're thinking about you and Fred.

Our memories go back to our childhood in West Middletown. The neighborhood would not have been complete without that cute little boy running down the alley beside our house after hearing his Mom yelling for him. May God bless his family at this time of sadness. You are in our thoughts and prayers

My name is Carole Singleton,(Mann)Bryant. I went to school at Poasttown and Madison with Freddie. He was a very good friend. I will always remember his sweet smile and his sense of humor and always his preppie way of dressing in high school. He was so much fun and I will miss him, but always remember the good times we had. I pray that God will comfort the hearts of his wife, children and other family members and friends.
