Today my phone rang at work. I thought it was a headhunter looking to inventory me for a job placement. I was wrong, very wrong. It was your dad who was looking to make contact with me for almost a decade. We shared some great stories about you and life in general. Your dad is a good man who misses you like it was yesterday. It was my pleasure to speak with him today, but clearly his pleasure to be able to call you his son.

He was hard working but always took the time out to say hello. Proud to say I lived in the same house with him one year.

Fred was initially a friend of a friend who later became my friend and he was also a fellow equity trader. We both lived in NYC, got married at almost the same time and had similar career paths. My wife was pregnant as well and due right around the same time as Mindy. He was such a good guy and I miss him. I know he would be so proud of his family and all they have done to honor him and the life he lived. Miss ya buddy.
Windy and I were childhood friends from camp so this site has special meaning to me. I met Freddy while I stayed with them (for a week) during their freshman year at cornell while I was a senior in HS visiting potential schools. It was an obvious memorable week for me being introduced to the Cornell/Baco clan, many of whom I came to know better during my years at Michigan and beyond. It still freaks me out to think about the events of 9/11, and I often think of Freddy as he was so full of life - his entire being was a complete contradiction to this tragedy. My thoughts go out to FTB's family and friends as his memory will always be with us.
Mike, I agree with Freddy - it's about time you got this site up!! Well Done!
Best,
Doug
I just wanted to post a quick note to say happy birthday to FRB and to let him know that we are all still thinking about him daily. Love and miss you buddy.
The last time I saw Fredric was when he was a baby. While I have lost touch with Howard and Leslie throughout the years, when I heard Fredric's name read during the 9/11 Memorial three years ago my heart stopped. I waited to hear the reading of the names the following year and contacted one of Howard's relatives to confirm. Eversince that time, Fredric has been on my mind but I haven't had the courage to contact Howard and Leslie. This is my way of letting them know that I have said many prayers and shed many tears for Fredric.
The website is fantastic. I love viewing the photos. Looking at them makes me laugh.
When I think of Fred, pictures of Mindy, Alexis, Jolie, Leslie, Howard and his friends quickly follow, and those images leave that hollow sadness for their loss. This website reminded me just how funny Fred was. Thank you.
My love to you all,
Dawn
Unfortunately, I never had the chance to meet Freddy. But this site is overflowing with his memory, and radiates life and love in such a way that I am left with the feeling that I know his beautiful spirit. He is obviously much loved, and has planted his own seeds of love that continue to blossom and send light in the direction of many people.
Howard -- I hold him and your family in my heart.

What a great idea! We had a wonderful time browsing through the website. Everyone who knew Fred has great memories. Loving thoughts and prayers to all of Fred's family.
Love,
Lois and Mike
This is a wonderful website, a nice tribute to a great guy. I knew Fred and Jolie growing up in Dellwood Park. They were both great kids. Their parents really did an outstanding job!!
To Fred's family: my heart goes out to you, and I too lost my sister Laurie in 1987. It's so hard to lose someone, but we will be reunited on the other side. What a special moment that will be!
Take care,
Jim Gifford
