Freddie was a wonderful storyteller and the tale always started with “did I ever tell you my…story.” Freddie was an avid golfer and loved to read. Even up until the end, when asked how he was doing, Freddie always responded with, “couldn’t be better” and how true that was.
Freddie was also a proud member of the United States Air Force during the Korean War.
