Freddie's Family,
My late husband Dr. Fay Boozman introduced me to Freddie in 1977 when we went to Freddie's for a Freddie Burger and a hot fudge shake.  Both became my favorites!

Freddie's big smile, friendly personality, and helpful nature are what I thought of as soon as I read his obituary.  For years after Freddie's Pharmacy closed, Freddie and I would see each other somewhere in the Rogers area.  He was the real deal.  He was the same man I met many years earlier and always very kind, friendly, and helpful.

May God bless you all during this very difficult time,
Vickey Boozman

Absolutely the finest gentleman i've ever known.

What can I add...to the well-deserved, and so many, Tributes to  long-time friend Freddie? 
Not much can I add, but I am glad we had a good visit fairly recently for a mutual friend, Maxine, also gone now. I regret that I cannot be there with Freddie today at his Visitation.
Sincere regrets to his family and many friends.
Gene 

Freddie was a one of a kind!
I worked for Freddie at his pharmany for ten years and then followed him to USA drug for another five years.

I would have to say, Freddie was the quickest witted person I ever knew! I believe he made me laugh at something nearly every day. I still think often of some of his classic sayings and have even adopted a few as my own. I admired how he always treated everyone the same. He treated everyone with kindness and consideration. He truly loved his career as a pharmacist. He was  defiantly a people person! How perfect was it that he should have the best pharmacy in town and the perfect coffee shop where the best collection of locals gathered for that 10-cent coffee. In all actuality, it was Freddie that brought them in. That's who they really came to see!

If he was having a bad day, you never really knew it and he certainly never took it out on others. I know he experienced many heartbreaking times in his life. I feel, more heartbreak than should be allowed! But he pushed on. He was so strong! I think he had a pretty good view on the world and a great judge of character. He was very honorable and fair. He didn't criticize or put people down. He always believed in people and always gave others a chance, and some a second chance!

I, along with many others, enjoyed fun times around his fire pit. Eating, drinking and just laughing the night away. I wasn't a beer drinker but, did admire his beer keg closet.

I could go on and on but know I'm not sharing anything that we all don't already know. He was so very special to everyone who knew him.

Freddie, I will miss knowing you are not on this earth but, find comfort in knowing that the Lord has eased you of pain and is now holding you safely in his loving arms.

I love you Freddie.       


Freddie was such a dear man.  I remember when I was a little girl,  my grandmother would take me into the pharmacy for her to pick up medications and Freddie would always talk to us. He had a way of making people feel special,  even though I was just an ornery little kid. When times were tough and my grandparents were on a fixed income,  Freddie always extended their pay time,  lowered the cost,  or made it work somehow for them. I'm grateful there was someone like him to help. May the Lord know your giving heart Freddie, thank you.  


I WILL TRULY MISS FRED.  HE WAS SPECIAL INDEED.  I HAVE MANY FOND MEMORIES OF FRED IN HIGH SCHOOL AND AT OUR CLASS REUNIONS.   BLESSINGS TO FRED'S FAMILY.  KATHERINE

While we weren't in the same crowd, I always liked Fred, as he was everybody's friend. I will miss you, my friend.

What a guy. Everybody in Rogers back in the day knew Freddie.  I remember his smile most of all.  At Freddie’s Pharmacy everyone received his special treatment and felt they were his favorite customer.  Rest In Peace, Freddy.

Freddy was an awesome man! I will always remember going into Freddys Pharmacy and visiting g with Lorraine and Freddy over a freddys burger he will be missed love you Freddy 

A true gentlemen, and friend to my father.  

I always appreciated Freddie for his great sense of humor. He could  tell great stories and it was always A fun day when he was around.He and Lorraine were old friends from back in the1960’s.

Loved going to Freddies pharmacy he was always so friendly and had A smile on and wpuld talk to everyone who came in.He will be missed.



We have known Freddie for years. He was a great friend and the best pharmacist in Rogers. He was always considerate of his customers  and quick to make sure meds were correct. Prayers for the family 

I worked with Freddie and USA Drug. He was a great man and always willing to help anyone at anytime. One year he went to Mexico and it happened to be my birthday. He took a picture that said Happy birthday, I'll always treasure that. Thoughts and prayers to his family. 

I got my first real job  at Freddie’s Pharmacy, and worked as a “soda jerk” cook and waitress for my last two years of high school in 1976-77. 
I loved that job, and was also allowed to deliver meds to all the local nursing homes, driving Freddie’s old El Camino. 
I learned so much there, and loved cooking Freddie Fat Burgers, grilled sandwiches, and I learned how to make homemade chicken salad from scratch, and still think of it when I make mine today. I just turned 60 in September, and will always have fond memories of the “ old” guys who cane in on weekend mornings for coffee and gossip about the latest Rogers happenings, and to pick on me, and give me great advise about life. 
I’m so sorry for the loss of an Icon of Rogers. 

I worked at consumers pharmacy for several years and would be at Freddy’s grabbing us all food at least a couple of times a week. He was such a wonderful man. Funny and smart. Much respect for you Freddy. God speed and give Josie a hug from me and Tawny when you get to heaven! 

My first job was working at the pharmacy coffee shop for Freddie and Lorraine when I was 15. They taught me quite a bit about being a good employee and about taking care of customers like they were family. 
I am praying for his family and friends.
