Mary Lynn, Freddie, Joe and Kathy,
We are so sorry to learn of Freddy´s death. We spent many years growing up together (although some would say we matured slowly). I would not change any of our times together with our group of WP friends. Freddy was unique and genuine.. what you saw and what you heard from him was straight forward and honest. Many many fond memories and experiences from those early years filled with some mischief but mostly fun. He never was and will not be forgotten.

Mary Lynn & Freddie,

I am deeply saddened to hear of Freddie's passing.
He and I were Maintenance Journeymen at Owens Illinois/Techneglas.
I have many fond memories of working with him and his ability to keep us laughing.
He was genuinely a good person.
After Techeglas, my wife had the opportunity to work with Freddie at Pride Mobility.
We both will certainly miss him but, never forget him.
My heart goes out to you for this tremendous loss.
Rest In Peace, Freddie.
