My name is Bernie I just don’t know were to start. I grew up with Freddy most of my life and I am just heart broken that I just found out about him. If anything, I can say that he was a very special friend and I will miss him very much. Freddy was the first person that talked to me when I moved on 48thst that was 25 years ago. Last time I heard from him was in 2006 he left me a message on my phone. I called him back the next day and the phone was disconnected makes me think why didn’t I just call him back right away. I have lost contact with every one on 48th street since I live so far away but if any one can get in contact with me, I would really appreciate it. My sincere condolences to his wife and to all his family. Rest in peace Freddy
