Sorry to hear of Fred’s passing. Condolences to his family. I worked with Fred in the Taxi industry many years ago.
My sweet “Uncle Fred” was a one of a kind human being & outstanding Uncle. I’ve never heard him say or have a bad word against anyone or even get angry for that matter.
I’ll forever cherish my memories of being a little girl whom he would ride on his shoulders to “Brewer’s” local retail store & spoil me to my heart’s content with a big turk bar, a bottle of cream soda & a bag of scotties chips…when it came to showing affection he had the recipe..& again after losing my cherished Father in 2020′ he was there with encouraging words & gentle empathy to bolster me onward.
Corey & little Max really “lucked out” to have you for a Father & Precious Poppy.
Living forever in our hearts, until we meet again,
Niece Tina & Sister Joan. ❤️

Uncle Fred was more than an uncle – he held a special place in our family growing up and when he lived with us after Nanny Dempsey died. I will cherish forever our warm telephone chats in recent months when he always expressed gratitude and love – and always took a moment to update me on Max – he beamed when speaking of him! Cory, Bethann & Gloria – please accept my deepest condolences. Uncle Fred is already missed so very much. Deepest sympathy with love, Niece Judy.
