Although Fred and I haven’t talked in years he was someone unforgettable. In the early 70s Fred and a bunch of car guys were customers of mine. The Magner Brothers, Bruce Benway and Johnny Grasso and many more. So many stories to tell. Fred’s voice and great sense of humor will be remembered by all from those days. The counter at Stoneys was a gathering place. Happy to have known him and sorry for your loss.
