I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Freddie's passing. I have a lot of fond memories of him and my grandpa at many Lions Club functions over the years. His smile and how he would tell stories are two of my favorite things about him. Sending our thoughts and prayers to your family.
I regret I did not know Freddie had tapped his shoes from this life straight to Heavens gate (I'm sure!) I consider myself Blessed to have known him and shared many laughs and a tear or two. I never knew a man to love his wife and family more.
My Prayers are with each of you.
I will miss my dear friend Freddie. I worked with him for many years and we worked on many projects together. He always made it fun. he loved his family very much

I can honestly say I don't think I've ever met a nicer man than Mr. Joyce. I waited on him when I worked at Walmart and then when I worked at Leslie Jewelers he came in there a few times. He was always so happy he just made your day better. My thoughts and prayers go to his family. I know he will be greatly missed.
