Not a day goes by that we don't think of you. Christmas was very quiet without your laugh and making the breakfast casserole for me. We hope you are enjoying your birthday and wish we could be together to celebrate. Love always, John, Diane, Taylor and Trevor
Today I went to visit you at your last home out in Calverton, I thought it was apropos as you were such a military guy at heart, a man who always believed in his country and their forces. They did a beautiful job on your stone. I miss you lots, Love me
We still hear your laugh throughout the house.
Taylor, your only granddaughter, is graduating high school in a few weeks and I know you will be with her as she walks to receive her diploma proudly. Keep with her on her journey to Nebraska.
John and Barbara Bowen.

DURING THESE TIMES.
PAN AM ROSIE ROSENSTEIN
SPRING HILL FLORIDA
They searched for miles afar,
And deep within the distance
They could see a shining star.
They knew that very instant
That the star was theirs to gain,
So they took you up to heaven
Forever to remain.
Look down on us from heaven
Keep us free from hurt and pain,
You'll always be within my heart
Until we meet again
With tears in my eyes, I miss you Freddie! Bob + Silke

Big Hearted Guy
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
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!
