To the Family: I was saddened to hear of Freddy's passing. I admired Freddy from the first time we played basketball against each other. He was a good player but more so as a friend. I grew up next door to Lola and she was a cheer leader and she rode home with me, being able to drop her off at home. Our prayers are with the family!!!!
