Sorry this is so late after Fred’s passing. 
Fred & Natalie moved into the house across the street from my mom and I remember their little boy, David. Over the years, Fred & Natalie were very dear friends and neighbors of my mom. I remember visiting your folks after my mom had died and they shared stories of living in Glendale and OLPH, where I attended school. I think St. Peter had the gate wide open when Fred arrived with a warm, “Welcome home, Fred!” What an exemplary individual. He is greatly missed.

For those who aren't aware, Uncle Fred proudly served in the US Army. When we shared stories of our veteran experiences, he fondly spoke of his time in Virginia.

One year, Uncle Fred chose to join me and the other fellow veterans in our family at the Phoenix Veterans Day Parade (Uncle Alonzo present but not available for this photo).

Beth and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Aunt Ana's house before we moved to Maryland. I will always treasure my time spent with Uncle Fred that evening.

Uncle Fred was such a wonderful, kind, loving man who will be greatly missed! My heartfelt love and prayers are with Aunt Nati and family.  May God grant you strength and comfort.

I am blessed to have had another awesome Uncle. Uncle Fred you are dearly missed by all. I have so many great memories at your home and at Grandpa and Grandmas house. I will miss you but you have earned your place in heaven. 

I love you. 
Randy

Words can not express how I feel right now.     I will miss our long conversations about life.    You were always one phone call away.  I have learned so much from you.  Family was always your top priority so I will carry on the family legacy.

I love you so much Tata and will be miss greatly! 

They always attended my parents Christmas party. 

I only know Fred and his wife through my mom and my aunt.   I only saw them on occasion.  

My dearest Tio, it’s so hard to believe that you are not with us anymore. I can still hear you saying at the top of your voice SHOSH when I walked into the room. You are with your brothers, Grandma and Grandpa and most importantly your son. Until we all meet again. We love you 🙏❤️

I saw a butterfly outside your house the another day. It was so beautiful flying around. I love you and miss you so much. I thank God for giving me an amazing tata like you. We will take care of nana for you. I know you are at peace and my dad is with you. Until we meet again, rest in Paradise🙏🏽❤️🌹

I will miss you, Tio!  To my Great Aunt Nati and all of relatives grieving at this time, I am praying Mi Shebeirach for your inner healing.  I am also praying Kaddish over Uncle Fred.  To my brother, Ben, and I, he was an amazing great-uncle.  Fred was always kind, supportive, and very hopeful of things always turning out for the best.  While I did not see as much of him as an adult, living on the East Coast, I was glad to have a corraspondance with him by Facebook Messenger.  He loved his family dearly, including my dearly missed grandfather/Fred's elder brother, Al.  I know he is reunited with him, their brother Arnold, their beloved mother, Guadalupe,  Fred's son, David, and all of their previously deceased loved ones.  My wife Lynne and I also send a special prayer and blessing to Fred's remaining siblings: Anna and Alonzo!

May the peace of G-d be with you all!
