Joanne, we are saddened by Fred's passing, but know he is not suffering, we met in undergrad, & had many classes together, if I hadn't moved to Bountiful, I would have had your Mom as a teacher at West HS, after Fred moved back to Salt Lake, I would call him and tell him of classmates & class reunions, I talked & he would listen, I hoped to to visit this August on our way through town, tell your Mom hello, and our blessings to the rest of the family, Jim Sandoval, Sedona,AZ, 480-788-4040; [email protected]

Fred:
He was a good friend from dental school. May his soul rest in peace.

Freddy was uncle Vic's answer to the next Ted Williams. I saw how good of a high school baseball player Freddy was from 8mm film Vic shot of Freddy. Freddy was offered a full baseball scholarship to the U of Utah. He graduated from the U of Utah and then obtained his Doctorate in Dentistry from Creighton of Saint Louis, Mo.

Freddy reminded me of Mitch's best friend his brother Fred. I saw Freddy once at Joanne's and Paul's wedding.
