Jan, I was so saddened to read about Freddie's passing. I remember being in awe when we would go to Uncle John's and Aunt Ginger's house and you, and Freddie would be there. You two were the coolest couple we had ever been around. We four siblings got to see you and Freddie go from being friends to getting married to having children and raising a family. It was such a blessing to be part of the Payne family and be a part of the many memories made at the house on Wakefield. Daddy sends his sympathies and your family will be in my prayers. Much love, Mandy

I'm so sorry to hear of Fred's passing; he was a dear friend to me over the 20+ years I lived in Baton Rouge. His pictures always made everyone look their very best; my favorite one was with me with my cat Pacobell who had never been photographed but somehow settled down for Fred. He was always available for good talk and for good stories about Baton Rougeans. Sending my condolences to Jan and family from Oxford, MS. Julia Thornton

34 years ago Fred began to memorialize our children in his beautiful photos. As time went on his art chronicled their lives as well as that our granddaughter. Fred also made lasting treasures for our extended family when he photographed our grandfather and more recently our mom. During the photo sessions he made everyone comfortable; made us laugh and made his subjects feel and look beautiful. Thank you Fred for capturing memories that we will cherish. Jan-Charlie, Daniel, Kate, Lily and I are thinking of you.

I was saddened to hear about the passing of Fred. He was a BRHS classmate and of course he did our children's photographs. His memory will be cherished forever in the images that he created for all of us. Rest in peace my friend.

We are so sad at the loss of Fred. He was iconic, immensely talented, and a great friend to us and our children. We treasure the portraits he did of members of our family and am so grateful to have them prominently displayed in our home. Our sincerest sympathy to Jan and their children. We love Anna like one of our own. We cannot imagine there will be no more Fred Frey portraits made in Baton Rouge. In loving memory of a wonderful person who we will love and miss always.

I am one of the many who were touched by Freddie years ago in way he likely never knew, and now moved by his passing.

I am so sad to read this. He will be sorely missed by his large family, friends and fans. It was always fun watching his talent shine. I treasure the many beautiful photographs he took of my family. Visitors in my home always ask about the photographer with such an eye for the soul of his subject.
I´m sure once he gets settled in heaven, he will be taking note of some interesting subjects. Wish he could share the new ones with us!

My heart is broken upon learning of Freddie´s untimely passing. He was truly a unique, intelligent, talented, witty, kind and excessively generous cousin! I spent many great times with Freddie and Jan. I have never laughed more heartily with anyone than Freddie and Jan. Jan was his steadfast and devoted wife and business partner throughout their marriage. I remember visiting them in the garage apartment when they first married behind Fred and Martha´s home. So many fun times. His photography is legendary and adorns the walls of my home and so many homes all over the world. Bill Cooper said he was not a photographer he was a magician! No one can ever take his place. I will miss Freddie for the rest of my life. Johnnie Sue Larguier Creel

Although we know that Fred has gone to new life with his Heavenly Father, we are so very sad. He lovingly touched so many lives and will be sorely missed, but not forgotten.
As in the past four decades, we continue to be blessed every day by our treasured works of Fred´s unique talent and exceptional portraits. They are proudly displayed in our home and in the homes of our children and grandchildren.
This warm, kind and generous man will always be loved and remembered.

A legend is gone but he will never be forgotten. Every girl wanted Freddie to take their picture because he made everyone look beautiful, way before the days of filters and apps on our phones or computers..... but most of all he created lastly and loving memories caught on film.
Thank you Freddie!! You will be missed but never forgotten. May you rest in Eternal peace. My sincere condolences to Jan and the entire Frey family.
