I was blessed to work with the man, and got to know him and his family quite well, his son becoming one of my very best friends. Fred always knew how to make a person smile. He could give you crap for screwing up his register count while making you die laughing but get the message across none the less. My math skills still suck Fred! Nothing beat him calling me Alexander in his native accent, an inside joke everyone who worked at his store knew well. Miss ya Freddy! Derrek Gauthier
