Like so many friends, time can bring you apart. But, as with every good friend, there are enduring memories that inexplicably and randomly come to mind...as it always was, and will always be in my thoughts of Fred. My sincere condolences to Christine and everyone in your family.

Chickie and I were deeply saddened to hear of Fred's passing. He was my close friend back in the day of classes at Northeastern, co-op at The Patriot Ledger, and wiffleball in the yard of his Quincy apartment. Chris, we are so, so sorry for your loss.
