    I ran into a neighbor of Freddie's the other day from Hanson who asked me if I knew Freddie. "Of course I do!" Ha passed on the sad news of Freddie's passing. My condolences, although late, are heartfelt and sincere. Freddie and I worked together at CPD at Boston Whaler. We were good friends. I was straight out of college and Freddie, although not knowing it, was a patient, caring mentor of mine. I learned a lot from him as a 22 yo "kid". Freddie managed a highly skilled work force that always turned out high quality product to the most discerning of clients. Freddie got "s$&#" done! What a great man. I'm sure he's missed a thought of daily by his friends and family.

    Mr Damon was a kind and friendly neighbor to me and my family for many years. I grew up across the street from him on west water street and have fond memories of his big smile and handshake and how proud he was of his great back yard. They were such a nice family to grow up next to. I am sure he will be missed. William Bois

    I only learned of Fred's passing yesterday. I worked with Fred for 17 years at Boston Whaler and always found him to be a person of integrity, high energy and loyalty. And good humor, too. He was an integral part of the Commercial Division which I managed and one of the real pros who made Boston Whaler such a success. My deepest condolences to Fran and his family. God bless you all.

    Dear Mary, So sorry to read about your brother's passing. I can recall many years ago, knowing Fred and Owen, and our days spent at the Oasis, gobbling up great pizza, having a few beers, and meeting the gang of close friends for small talk and memories. You were a special gal and we had a special group of really great friends, many of which have sadly passed away. God bless you and your family and may God give Fred some well deserved peace.
