I am so saddened by the death of Freddy ( yes I always called him Freddy). John, I have seen many of your family members become a memory. To this day I still remember the tears that rolled down Fred’s cheeks when Mom passed so many years ago. I can still see him watching the little television that was in that little room that was in the back of the house on Mackenzie. I hope that he is now united with mom and dad resting comfortably. And John I hope that you see that image and that it may give you comfort.

Services will most likely be held in early June at Green Acres in Scottsdale. We are still sorting out all the details. 

Fred's actual date of death according to the medical examiner's office is April 10th. I love you Fred and I will miss you. I tried to call Torrence and Ron V., but the numbers I found in Fred's address book were out of service. Somehow you found the obituary, so at least you know. Rest in peace, Fred. 

Ron, Torrence, and Pam, I know you were his closest friends. Email me if you want more details.

Such a loss, our long time dear friend Fred was a gentle, smart, and always fun guy.  We (we were a gang of 5) met in 1967 at Scottsdale High (Fred always said he NEVER joined the Scottsdale High Teenage Republican Club but he was always with us there!)  and had lots of adventures through college.   Fred was a lead city planner in several Arizona communities and loved his work and job.  He brought his old friends back for the 50th Scottsdale High reunion in 2017.  Fred was a walking Wikipedia of American politics.  He knew all the players, events, history, and had a political button and sticker collection beyond belief.   He was proud of all of his family and told us that, especially the hard work history of his father and mother.   Thank you, Fred, for being such a wonderful steady fun friend for 54 years!  Much love to your family--

I met Fred while attending Scottsdale High in the late 60's. Along with Fred, there was a small group of us interested in local and national politics; that was how we met,  bonded and became friends.  That friendship has never wavered. I always enjoyed Fred's insights, his enthusiasm and wit. He will be missed! My condolences to all his family members and friends.
