Freddie and I met in 9th grade when he first came to Baileysville High School. He was shy, quiet and just an all-round nice boy. We graduated together in 1970 and we all lost track of him. At our first class reunion in 1975 we had a California address for him but that was all the information available. Out of 107 graduates from our small West Virginia high school 53 have passed away. I never heard Freddie say a harm word about anyone, he was always polite, sweet and a gentleman. To Lannette I would say "you must be very special for Freddie to have chosen you" and I hope you will see him again in the next life. Blessings....
My deepest sympathies for the loss of Freddie. I graduated with him from Baileysville High School in 1970. He was a dear, sweet boy.....quiet and unassuming. We knew he was in California but missed him at our reunions.
One of my favorite memories with my dad was when my sister and I were driving and he sat in the backseat in the middle with his arm around each of us singing Kenny Chesney songs to us. ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
When I moved to Ravendale in 2014 I met Fred 30 minutes later. He helped me when I needed help most .He was a good friend and a great man .I will always remember his stories.ย
He was so kind and always so helpful, its a blessing being able to know him and call him a friend. Rest in Peace my friend, you did a wonderful job on this earth showing love and kindness to all of us. Thank you for thatย
Freddie was my oldest brother and although time and distance had separated us for many years it didnโt erase our brotherly love. I will miss talking to him on the phone. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family in California at this most sorrowful timeโฆ..Rest in peace Brother, I love youโฆ..
