I regret that I did not know he was so near. Freddie was my childhood friend for a while. I often wondered where he was, and tried to look him up several years ago. I heard he played piano with some big name entertainers, Elvis for one. H played for me when we were kids. His obit does not mention family. I think he had a sister, but not sure. It has been so long. He was a kind and gentle soul.
