Freddie Jr. & David
I am deeply saddened over your loss. Freddie was not only my Dads best friend, he was considered family. I remember seeing him just about every day for the first 18 years of my life. David, I cherish the times you and your Dad came to visit me in Florida. Times we will never forget. Freddie will be truly missed by all. For my Dad, I am so sorry for your loss. Let's remember all the good times. We can all keep his memory alive.
