My heart is broken for all of us who loved Uncle Freddie, especially my cousins, Peter, Helea and Tahira.
Uncle Freddie was an extraordinary son, brother, father, uncle and friend. He mentored countless men and women in the gaming industry and was an influence on more people than he probably realized.
I have so many memories and emotions that it's impossible to describe them or him in a summary, but I can say that Uncle Freddie, who loved all of us unconditionally, was the Pied Piper of the kids in our family. He didn't just pay for the "E tickets" at Disneyland, he went on the rides with you. If you were happy, he was genuinely happy.
When thinking of Uncle Freddie, the words love, humor, generosity, party, style, fun, and forgiving come to mind. Did I forget to mention yoga way before it was popular? Ah, and can't forget his stellar ability to hold the kerchief, dip and leap while leading the dabke line.
Uncle Freddie, you hugged life like you meant it and I'd give anything to hug you one more time.
Rest easy, Uncle.
Love, Nikki
