We were indeed saddened by the passing of our friend of 25 years Freddie. The many conversations we had and the fond memories we have visiting on the “dock” during our trips to Savannah. We miss Freddie and his memories of Savannah during his lifetime. Freddie’s love for Savannah was obvious to all who knew him. Freddie God has you in his hands for ever. Barbara and Dickie Cope
