The best brother (never a brothers-in-law), husband, father, uncle that anyone could have ever know. If you didn't know Freddie then it truly was your loss. He left a wonderful legacy with his wife and daughters. We will miss him forever.

I met Fred through my brother Tony back in high school. I remember how Fred was always smiling and laughing. Fred even worked for our family business briefly, Master Mechanical. My mom like most people, took a immediate likening to him. My ex adored Fred.
His passing was way too soon and shocking, but his actions were not. Fred was always first to lend a hand or help someone out.
I know there's nothing I can say to ease the pain or sorrow, but I will pray that you and your family find peace in the memory of a good man. And that hopefully one day that we are all together and we'll show heaven how to party.
Fred was one of those rare people who made the world a little better place for his being in it. Now the world is a little dimmer. I'm going to miss Fred, who I considered a friend.
