Sad news indeed. He was one of a kind.
HOLY CRAP! This is horrible news. I am headed to Chicago right now, and had planned to go see Fred tomorrow, just to check in with my friend. I am SO sad to hear this. He will be GREATLY missed.

I can't believe this. Please tell me it's not true. I just talked to him a couple of weeks ago. He sounded chipper as usual. Just said he was a little under the weather. What a great legacy he has left us with his wonderful books and videos. Freddie was one of the most brilliant people I ever met in the pool world. And funny as Hell to boot! It's sad when all the guys you've known all your life are dying, very very sad!

Dam, that was fast. I'm VERY saddened to hear this. His legacy will live on forever, he was so impacting for many decades. I hope he passed in peace, knowing the many he'd touched cared deeply for him.
I never had the pleasure to meet him. Perhaps some that did will recant the thousands of great experiences they enjoyed with him.
RIP Freddy. :crying:

Very sorry to hear this, pool definitely lost a great one. My condolences to his family.
I am in complete shock, it was so fast. My sister is currently dying of Pancreatic Cancer and it is horrible, I would not wish it on anyone. I don't know how sick Freddy has been but if it happened as fast as it seems to have, it was a gift.
He will be missed but not forgotten. I am so glad he finished his book and got to see what joy people got from it.
God good point. I think it was really fast, and, as you point out, that's a gift.
Rest in Peace!
