Pinacle of your birth year, standard bearer for your cadre.

You lived your life as a social worker, helping others till mandated retirement.

You kicked prostate cancer in the ass, lost your ass in the process and wore a shit bag for 17 years.

Freddie. I miss already miss you. Your wife is amazing, but you were special.

I'm failing writing beyond this...

never will i ever forget your sparkling eyes, your enigmatic smile, your love fore life and the love for the underdog.

the recognition that we fight against the exploiters every day, and every minor win should be seen as a victory...

I will forever miss your counsel.

grateful for the moments you shared with me... looking at your children I'm absolutely in awe and hope I can be as much a father to mine as you were to yours.

Rest in Peace Freddie...

we're gonna miss you terribly... but at least you don't have to suffer anymore of this Trump bullshit, maybe you're the lucky one.

your spirit will live through me, internally, and from me those i can reach, and through them you...
