I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Freddie everytime I visited my Father who use to live next door to him. I'm from Brooklyn NY and when I would come down to Highpoint, Mr. Freddie and I would be doing something in either his yard or my Father's yard and having great conversation. Even after my Father moved from next, and I would go down, I would still stop by just say hello. It was truly an Honor to have met Mr. Freddie and His Wife. I will miss him. Rest In Peace. Sincerely, Wendell Wright
