Jamie, I am so sorry for your loss. I met you a couple of times. I went to school with Freddie (that is what we called him). He was respected in school and in the work place. He was always a gentleman. I knew that he was sick, but I thought that I would get to see him soon. I am currently with family in California or I certainly would have made it to the services. I will keep you in my prayers for God to give you comfort. May you be blessed. Your husband will be missed by many.

Dear Mrs. Jamie, I will never forget what a kind and caring man Mr. Freddie was. It's really hard to find such a wonderful male role model nowadays. He will be sorely missed, but remain in our memories forever. I thank God for the privilege of knowing him. Donna Record Hotard

In our household he was known as Uncle Freddie. Our families have known each other since our kids were small and the memories that we have had will always live on in our hearts. He and Jamie raised two wonderful boys that have amazing families of their own. Our deepest sympathies go out to Jamie, Josh, Jason, Mae and the rest of the family.

"We all go through life with the love of friends and family.
Even though we know they will all leave us eventually
Never knowing where the future might lead you.
No worries though, there is a future for them too.
Because even if there not in front of you they will always be in your heart.
Nobody or nothing could tear a love like that apart!"
