Freddy was full of love and sarcasm. Those who knew him knew he gave the best hugs; he would pretend that his arms locked so he could hold onto you longer. Freddy loved being outdoors, he and his late wife would camp from April to October. Kayaking, fishing, hunting, and repairing things gave him such joy. He loved sharing those moments with his family and friends. Freddy was a handsome blue-eyed comedian, always making others laugh. We will miss you!
