Fred, Mikey, and Matt lived across the street from my family when I was growing up. Fred was always incredibly welcoming and kind to me. I once dented his BMW door on brick wall when I opened the door in their driveway I heard the crunch and I immediately felt awful. I´ll never forget he said "don´t even look at it. I mean it. It´s my fault for stopping here and telling you girls to get out of the car here." He wasn´t mad in the slightest. When they moved to Charleston I loved when I got to visit. Thankful to have been around him and enjoyed all the lovely dinners and laughs. Condolences to his whole family. He would say "stand with me we will make them all jealous" and inevitably you would feel like the luckiest person alive. Very special person.

Fred was like my uncle; he was there for me during one of the dark periods of my life. I will always be grateful to him for that. He was truly a blessing in my life. I feel and strongly believe that he is now back with Susan and very much at peace in Heaven.
