I was sorry to learn of Fred's passing. We lived in the same Cornwells neighborhood & I only really knew him in Jr. High, but he was always a nice person. My sympathy goes out to his wife, children, family & loved ones on their loss. May he rest in peace...

My sympathy goes out to Fred's family. Knew him well while growing up in our tightly knit community of Cornwells Heights. Always a nice guy. Haven't seen him since high school, but the news of his passing has brought back fond memories of times gone by. My mother knew his family well, and she always thought "Freddy" was so cute, and that he had that twinkle in his eyes. She saw him a few years ago at another family member's funeral, and he took the time to talk with her. She said he was still his charming self, and she was very appreciative of the time he spent talking with her. The news of his passing is very sad.

I went all 12 years of school with Fred. We lived in the same Cornwells/Eddington area. He was a very nice guy. In grade school, when Valentine's Day came around, he always had a heart shaped box of chocolates for me. We never dated but remained friend's thru high school. He was one of the "good guys".
