Freddie would lend anyone a helping hand whether he knew them or not. He would take the time to teach you if you did not understand. He had his own special way of critiquing and praising you. Freddie had many friends going back over 7 decades.

Some of his famous lines were: “Use your head for more than just a hat rack” , “He/She is crazier than a pet coon”, “You can make your mouth say anything” or “Boah, he or she is tight”. Freddie had a great sense a humor until he took his last breath.
