I still miss talking to my friend, Fred. Gone but not forgotten.

My wife Linda and I were fortunate enough to have met Fred on a Child Star cruise this past Dec 2019.  What a fascinating individual we become instant friends.   Fred and I spoke often this past year and planned on going to a Spring training game in Ft. Myers Fl to see  the Mets vs Twins before Covid 19.  We were so sorry and shocked to hear of Fred's passing he will be missed.  Our deepest sympathy goes out to Fred's family and friends our thoughts and prayers are with you all.  God bless Fred I'm sure he has a special place in heaven.  R.I.P.  Fred.

I just learned that my friend, Fred Rosen has died. I initially met Fred, as he was writing a book about a homicide spree that I had investigated. Fred was one of those special people we rarely meet in life that makes us better. Fred was a teacher and a very successful writer. His unending curiosity in seeking the truth coupled with his innate abilities in transposing these thoughts to script were both remarkable and entertaining. Fred loved his daughter, his mother, and his work. RIP Fred Rosen.

Fred was my favorite professor at Hofstra and certainly the most memorable. My wife and I met in one of his classes and things he said still come up in our conversations. Such as: That and a buck-and-a-quarter will get you on the subway.

I've carved out a 25-year career in sports journalism and Fred played a role in my choices. He inspired me. He made this seem like the most fun and exciting job in the world. I'm thankful our paths crossed and I'm greatly saddened  that we've lost him. My condolences.

I was deeply saddened to learn about Fred's passing.

My thoughts and prayers 🙏 are with Fred and all of his family.

Fred was a wonderful friend.  I will miss Fred's friendship very much.

God Bless.

So sorry to hear of Freds passing. I enjoyed his books enormously and his interesting posts on Facebook.  To Ruth and Sarah, his posts always showed that he loved you both very much and I'm sure he would be mad as hell that he is not with you anymore. God Bless you and Fred.


My sincerest condolences on your loss. Fred was my Hofstra University journalism professor, advisor, friend and mentor from 1988-91. He showed me the ropes of the business and helped me believe I could make a living doing journalism, and was one of the main reasons I was able to make a living as a sportswriter for 30 years. He was a great teacher and friend and I have so many great memories of him and our days together at Hofstra. He even gave me a chance to work in television, as he brought me on as an associate producer for the Byline show he created and produced for WLIW-TV on Long Island. Rest In Peace to my friend and mentor, and prayers for the Rosen family.

My prayers and thoughts,  go out to friends and family. Fred will be missed by everyone who knew him. Rest In Peace
