There can be no memory of Fred without joy in my heart. Yes, we shared the loss of family and friends but with great love and comfort for each other we managed through the pain. Our friendship began in North Miami 65 years ago. We bonded in a strong group of neighbors growing up together. Especially, Fred and Ronnie George always including me in so many crazy fun antics, all the while protecting me like their kid sister. We never lost touch with each other in spite of our separate lives. We shared so many meaningful events in six decades near and across the miles! In the past 15 years, thanks to emails and mobile phones, Fred and I were able to keep up our communication. I will miss him dearly, he was and will always be a bright star in my life. I will treasure our happy times together, his wonderful sense of humor and his unforgettable laugh. Rest in peace my dear friend, I love and miss you, Eileen
