Jane, I was shocked to hear about Freddie! Ken and I where in South America and when we got home I heard. My prayers go out to you Jane, he was your soul mate. Please tell the family how sorry we are. We have been friends before you and Freddie got married. God be with you. Love, Gayle and Kenny

Well pop was "the man". I love how pop personally expressed how much he cared about us , his family, and how he said something about each of my cousins and I. I wish you were still here pop, but I am glad you are no longer suffereing. Tell God I said hello. I guess my vision of heaven will be you waiting for all of us outside the pearly gates fishing, rather than walking in without us. WE MISS YOU. i love you.. Your first grand-daughter, "the adventourous one"-court

Aunt Jane, We will all miss Uncle Freddie so much. I will always remember how much fun it was when the Gondrella's came to the house or when we went to your house on Herald St. One time when my mom and dad had a New Year's Eve party, Uncle Freddie had set up a huge fireworks display at the Herald St. house. When it was close to midnight, he loaded us in the car and took us to your house. There was a huge sign that said "1970" in the front yard made of flares (or sparklers - when you're 10 years old, everything seems so big!). We thought that Uncle Freddie was just so cool to do that! And I will always remember going to all those Mardi Gras parades and how he would come by our house and pick us up. Boy did we squeeze a lot of people in the truck! Then, he would always find the best place to park on the parade route at the last minute. I don't know how he did that, but it always impressed me! And then all the great times that we had at the camps, especially the old camps, every summer. If it wasn't for Uncle Freddie, I never would have learned to water ski. We were in the boat and Karin was skiing. When she finished, Uncle Freddie asked if I wanted to ski. When I said that I didn't know how, he picked me up and threw me in the water. He then told me that if I wanted to get back to the camp, I would ski - and I did. He was just such a great man, and although he was not officially my "uncle", he was as much of an uncle as any man could ever be and I am grateful and privileged to call him "uncle". Thanks for all the great memories and I hope that you will continue to remember these, because through those memories we can keep his spirit alive. Our hearts and prayers go out to you and the entire family. Love, Connie, Frank, Brad and Matt

Dear aunt Jane,the memmories that uncle Freddie have created for me will forever be etched in my mind. As a child to the time he took sick , I can remember when ever their was a crises within the family,you always heard "call Freddie," he'll know what to do. What big shoes he wore. Shoes we all know can never be replaced. We will all miss his strict,firm,loving and caring ways that I believe we all have benefitted from. we will sadly miss him.

I have so many great memories with the Gondrella family, and they are started at his house, thirty years ago, when I was 8 years. I am so sorry everyone has to suffer the loss of this wonderful, kind-hearted gentleman. You are a stong family, one of his many gifts to you. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Much love, Shannon

Freddie, not just a brother to my wife but to me also, I felt as close to you as my own siblings. We will always remember the weekends on the water fishing, and the conversations we had with the many suggestions you offered. We will always love you, God bless you and your family.
Brother was very good at everything he did, I would have love to inherit his brain, had a memory like a book. I know I’ll miss him dearly. Love you and I will pray for you always, your sister Mickey

When I began my career at Boh Brothers I was a stubborn young man with disorderly work habits, but Mr. Freddy challenged me and forced me look at the big picture. While I didn’t recognize the value of his teachings as a young man, I later found myself challenging young men entering the company, just as Mr. Freddy challenged me.
With much gratitude,
Harvey Johnson

I am a co-worker of Vickie Lawrence. Vickie has often spoke of "Uncle Freddy" to those of us at work. Although I don't know him personally, I do however know what you are going through at this difficult time. I lost my father to CHF a week prior to "Uncle Freddy". Vickie always asked about my father and in turn we got to talk about "Uncle Freddy". Just by what she told me I can tell he was a very special person to all and he will be greatly missed. It's been a week and I am still trying to deal with my father's death. The only consoling thought that I have is he is no longer suffering and my conscience is clear. In the end if you can rest your head at night guilt free knowing you were always there for them it truly helps in coping with such a loss. We both will be on a long journey dealing with our losses, but they will always live on in our memories. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
