So sorry to hear about Fred. He was such a wonderful person! I will miss him! He so shared my love of music! With deep sympathy,  Barbara Rowe

We are so sad to hear of Fred’s passing!  What a wonderful person!  We always enjoyed talking to him.  Love the fact that we got to know your family through Sarah’s friendship with our son, Michael.  How fantastic that the kids have remained friends since 5th grade.  We would see Fred walking on the trails around Great Hollow Lake.  He always made time to say hi and talk.  Always interesting conversation.  Such a sweet and down to earth person.  Salt of the earth!  We will certainly miss hearing him broadcast on WMNR.  Tuesday mornings were special listening to Fred’s show.  Thank you for sharing him with us.  A huge hug to the entire family.  God bless you all.

Dear Diane Sarah Chris and Arron, 
I am so so sorry to hear about Cousin Fred. He was such a sweet and soft spoken man.  I have so many fond memories of him when we were younger.  
I know this is a very difficult time.
My thoughts and prayers  are with you all. 
Love,
Cousin Jacalyn (Laccone)

To Chris and family,
Oh my beautiful cousin. I am so saddened to hear  of  his passing. He was so special.
Intelligent, elegant and so handsome.  I was always happy to be in his company. He’ll forever hold a special place in my heart. He truly was one of a kind.
Thinking of all of you. 
Sending my love
Cousin Jill

As a volunteer at WMNR it was a pleasure to know and be at the station, during fund drives, with Fred. He will be missed by all.
