Fred was a hard worker with an upbeat personality. The neighbors on the street referred to him as ‘Fast Freddy’, holding two jobs for 40 years to support his family. Fred was a dedicated teacher at Medford High School and worked part-time in the evenings at UPS in Watertown.
Fred enjoyed summers down the Cape with his close high school friends. He fell in love with his wife, Tish and they were fortunate to share 51 years together. Building a family with Tish, filled with love, laughter and support, has always been Fred’s biggest accomplishment. He loved his three girls and often shared stories with his friends. Additionally, being a Papa was a role that Fred cherished, and he loved spending time with his grandchildren. Surrounded by many lifelong friends throughout the years, Fred and Tish filled their lives with travel, dancing and laughter while creating a lifetime of memories to hold on to. Finding new and cherished friendships later in life was truly a blessing to Fred. Family and friends were so important to him.
Fred was charismatic and loved dancing. He enjoyed spending summers down the Cape and a cigar in the backyard. He was a morning person and could talk for hours. Fred loved Sunday sauce with the family.
