Freddie,he'll never be Fred to me,& I spent many hours in the family home above his parents restaurant. I will always remember
our road trips in his yellow VW convertible. My mother loved the car, Freddie too. Lots of good times.

I took American History in Summer School with Freddie. I loved his yellow VW too. He was always smiling and friendly to everyone. We loved the family restaurant too. Prayers to all of his family. It's lovely you all lived in Kenosha.To Skip, I never knew your name was Schuyler. Even though we live in NC, I still remember many wonderful things about MDB and Kenosha. It was a great place and time to grow up!! Nancy Henkel Schulte

Fred and I hung out a little in our sophmore year and when I was going for my drivers licnese Fred said that if I pass the test on the first time, he would make me a pizza. I passed the first time, went to his house that was above the restaurant, showed him my licnese and said: "Cheese and Sausage". He made me one and it was great, along with some laughs. I couple years ago I ran into Fred at the grocery store and I asked how everything was going and he sadly said that he has become a care giver for his wife and was doing the best he could to keep her comfortable. We talked for a while and went our seperate ways. A sad past few years for Fred, the person who was always upbeat, fun to be around and just an all around great guy. Rest in Peace Fred.

I didn't know Fred and so I can't share any memories. I was, however, caregiver for my husband Chris during his final three years dealing with ALS. While being a caregiver for a loved one is a privilege, it also takes a tremendous toll on the caregiver. If Fred did this for his wife, he has my admiration and respect retrospectively. For any other classmates out there providing similar care for his or her loved one, I wish you faith, strength, and lots of support.
