My contact with Freddie was limited to a few light hearted forum exchanges and even there his exuberance and good nature were loud and clear. Those of you who were able to enjoy his company in person are fortunate, and I can only imagine what a great loss his passing is for family and close friends.

Men like him - though their time on Earth is shortened - live more, touch more hearts and make more folks smile than average people could do in two full lifetimes. Clearly a great man - I salute Freddie and send my heartfelt condolences to his family and all of his friends.
