Fred was blessed with many nieces and nephews from both families and many extended family and friends, too numerous to mention.

He graduated from Roxbury High School in 1957 after enjoying the great sports of Track, Football and Wrestling.  Based on his love of his sports background in High School, Fred and his dear friend, Bill Babus went to every sports event imaginable within the surrounding area of Roxbury.  As such, they were awarded the “Friend of the Gaels 2012-2013” for the support of athletic programs.
