We were shocked to hear of Mr. Fred's passing, as we had just spoken with him at Mary Mahoney's on Thursday July 22, 2004. Mr.Fred and his brother sold us the property for our first Fayard's B.P. Meat Market, Gas Station and home of the Famous Pressed and Dressed Roast Beef Poboys. We will miss his smiling face at Mary"s, and his stories he always had to share. May God Bless Him and Your Family always.
