Hey uncle Fred can’t believe how time flies. anyway you would not recognize today. People have become crazy a lot has to do with Covid and politics. It would seem now in a lot of states the criminals have more rights than the people go figure. Anyway my mom should be coming to visit you soon and hopefully you’ll find each other once again and rejoice in some memories.

Well Fred  , another year and what a difficult one it was for everyone. You probably would not even recognize us all, because we have become a masked society. Frank and I are still plodding along. Have not been back to Ireland now in 4 years. The journey is too long for us. I see Richard Krikalo still posts here. I often think of all the old crowd at Greenbriar. Miss you.

Wow I cannot believe another year has gone by Still go thru Greenbriar when I am up in Vegas and see the house numbers you took the initiative to make Greenbriar better for deliveryman and visitors to find people I SOLD my Laughlin house and JUST bought a townhouse in Heritage Square SOUTH Prices are INSANE!!! to quote the Crazy Eddies electronic store commercials from Long Island Bye for now Hope God is generous with me and my fair health continues till next year See you in Heaven some day!

Hi Fred, Miss you. You would not like what is happening now in the world. A virus has hit us all hard. I just saw that Richard Krikalo moved to Laughlin. Funny Frank and I have been thinking of going there for a long time now. Vegas is too big for us old folks. Rest in peace

Both Fred and Terri were fantastic people and I loved them dearly. They are missed very much. It seems like just last year we were at his funeral in Las Vegas and here it is his 85th birthday. I still see him on his motor cycle riding around the country. He sure loved that bike. So glad you have this every year, the years blend and we lose time. Thanks for doing this and for your "forever" caring.

Fred, Las Vegas is almost NON existent today. I moved to Laughlin, Nevada to get out of town. A virus hit our country Hard. I am surviving as best as I can. I hope your life in heaven is better than what we now have on earth. may see you soon.

Time FLYS! God Bless you Fred. Left Las Vegas for Kingman Az. You would NOT like the changes to Las Vegas. The corporations and illegals have turned that town into something you would not like. Want to move to Florida to be with other New Yorkers where I belong. Rich

Still live in Vegas about 1/2 a mile from Greenbriar townhouses where Fred and I were on the board and next door neighbors He put up all the address numbers on each building so our complex was not so confusing I remember working in my garage one day when a Metro car pulled up LOST asking me for directions! My parents are BOTH buried at Calverton back to back. They loved to travel too. They were both Navy. My father was lost at sea and my new father was Army so I have 3 family members that are there with Fred God Bless

Fred, I guess Elliot Kruse also passed by the recent post I just read. I hope you 2 are in a MUCH better place together. We had a lotta laughs and a Lot of heated discussions, all in the name of responsibility we had governing Greenbriar . After we were ousted, crooks came in and just about destroyed our home. So sad Miss you Rich Krikalo

Fred, I met you when you moved into 229 Greenbriar, I was your next door neighbor @ 231 Greenbriar. We instantly bonded because we were both Long Islanders. We both donated our time on the board of directors with Elliot Krause and another NYPD detective. 4 New Yorkers got stuff DONE there. I still drive thru Greenbriar and remember the address signs you donated and put up JUST because you wanted to make our home a better place. I used to call you after my home in Greenbriar was foreclosed on just to shoot the shit. When I started to get only your voicemail and I knew something was wrong. My life has been turned upside down, but I always wondered if everything was OK. I finally got on the computer and found out you had passed. Goodbye old friend. By the shear number of tributes to you I can see you were exactly who I thought you were, a great person who was always concerned about others before yourself!!! Long Island New York Forever!! Enjoy your bike in Heaven, cause I KNOW that is where you are....Rich

Big Hearted Guy

January 19, 2019

As A fellow board member at Greenbriar townhomes in Vegas I only knew Fred on a business level. I am reading some of the stories about Fred for the first time. WOW  I should have known Fred lived life to the fullest and I envy his life! A big guy on a big bike. We shared a few moments here and there and I was always impressed with his attitude for go that extra effort for whatever he was setting out to do We really got involved! I used to call him when my townhome was facing  foreclosure for his thoughts. When he did not answer I knew something was not right. I miss those " once every 6 months " phone calls just to "shoot the shit"  He had passion, that's for sure. YOU are missed Thank you to his family for their continued support on this website Fred was special and after reading the stories about him I know I am right.

Note From Bob Weber

January 20, 2013

Dear Bob,
Thanks for your mail reminding us about the first anniversary of Freddie's passing. He will always be remembered as the heavy set guy with a big smile on his face sitting behind his desk in LC and cracking a joke when appropriate. In later years I met him and Charlie Imbriani in FRA while we worked together in the CRAF operation of Pan Am at Ramstein AFB. He was always fun to work with and never let us down, helped us with his experience and knowledge in critical operational situations. Off duty we spent many hours together at the nearby German pubs and emptied countless steins of Lagers together. Just a week before he passed away I spoke to him over SKYPE and found out he was not doing too well health wise. At that time I had no idea in what serious health condition he was and was shocked to hear that he had passed away a week later. Freddie will always be on our mind when the name Pan Am is mentioned, he was a true Pan Amer with heart and soul! We dearly miss him! HE IS GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN!
Bob Weber, Pan Am JFK, FRA, MUC, VIE a friend of Fred Bissert (If you can please relay this mail to his family, thanks.)
