I remember Freddie as we called him in many of my classes. He was fun to be around. I remeber he was short and round. If he went to the marines, he didn't stay that way long. His sister, Pam and her husband served as Deacon and teacher and also as choir members in our church here in Wheeler. I am very sorry for thier loss.
