My thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Strauss, my friend Steve and the rest of the family. I have known Fred for over 20 years and I valued his friendship greatly. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to talk with Fred on several occasions at the Little League World Series in August.
Fred had so many friends all over the country and we will all miss his smiling face at the World Series.
Rest in Peace my friend.

I have many fond memories of spending my days at the Strauss household. There was never a dull moment! I still look at my photo albums and see the gang hanging out and always feeling welcome. I have felt the sorrow of losing a parent and while you never stop missing them, you can take comfort in the knowledge that they are still watching over you, just as they did here on earth. Support each other and love each other and keep the happy memories of Mr. Freddie's wonderful life alive and well. With deepest condolences,
Sharon (Alfinito) DeVault
