I am just now learning of your father's passing. Coincidentaly, I was just thinking of his class yesterday. Really enjoyed History with him as the teacher. So sorry for your loss, my deepest sympathy. Losing Dad is a difficult experience.

Mr. Freck was one of my favorite teachers at Avilla school back in the 70's.  He really poured his life into us kids.  I wish I could  have connected with him just once more.

On behalf of the Dept. of Veterans Affairs, whom Mr. Freck served as an appraiser for many years, we would like to send our condolences to his family.

I just heard of Mr. Freck's passing.  My condolences go out to all of his family.  Mike was a staple at USF home athletic events and I always enjoyed my interactions with him.  I am beyond humbled that he would ask for people to support the USF Athletic Department.  He was so devoted to so many things.  I will surely miss seeing Mike at the games this season, especially the southeast corner of the Hutzell Athletic Center for basketball games.  Godspeed, my friend!

We are deeply saddened of Mike's recent passing.  My family's associated with Mike goes back to the early to mid sixties when my Uncle Jim Finan attended University of St. Francis. Mike was my uncle's soccer coach and played along with Mike's brother Steve.   They also hung out together off of French Street, at a place called Tickler Hall.  My uncle also rode in Mike's 63 Corvette as pictured in Mike's obituary.  Mike was also on University of St. Francis's first college basketball team.  Decades later, I reintroduced my Uncle Jim to Mike at one of Northrop's basketball games where his two grandsons played. They were good ballplayers.  They were younger than my son, whom Mike and I watched together at Snider and St. Francis basketball games.  Mike was also my coach in the early 70's at the Avilla Middle School where I played basketball.  He was a good teacher and coach who had a play for every basketball situation.  I was told that he also possessed these talents as a soccer coach.  I was fortunate enough to see him a year ago purchasing fish at Big Eyed Fish at Leo Crossing.  Mike was a friendly man who gave his very best in all his endeavors throughout his life.  He will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him throughout his life.  Our sincere condolences to the Freck Family. 

Mr Freck was one of the best. The greatest teacher. He was so loved by all. Prayers to the family. R.I.P. Mr. Freck.
Sincerely 
Julie Rodocker Vaughn

One of my "favorite" B-Dubs lunch gang over the years.  Mike had that "wry" smile when he kidded you and then he always chuckled about it.  He was a gentle man and caring.  He was always interested in others when he spoke with you.  I have many fond memories of our discussions and he always talked with great pride and love when asked about his family as well.  Not in our midst but always in our hearts and home!  Rest in peace Mike!  We love and will miss you.

Brian (Rebecca), Ian, and Logan Miller
