Dad/Pappa:
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

Fred was a great guy and Rich and I enjoyed coming to his service in Las Vegas. What you are doing to keep him alive is fantastic. So many people are forgotten once they are buried and it is nice that you are keeping his memory alive forever.

We lost a good friend when you left Long Island, Freddie. I will always remember our visits in Vegas (too few), our phone calls and the great e-mails we shared. But the one thing I remember most, and the sentiment that was your hallmark is your happy voice saying "Tom, my door is always open . . ." God Bless you, my friend.

When my husband and I moved to Ireland, Fred said he would come see us. I thought everyone says that, but true to his word he came the following year and we had a great time. He loved to travel and see new places and meet new people. He is sadly missed. You are always in our hearts Fred Gloria and Frank Omeara

Fred was a man of character and honor. He loved a social gathering and was very family oriented. He was a wonderful uncle to us all, and my husband Tony cherished and admired him all of his life. We have enjoyed a close relationship with him, both in NY and CA. Many wonderful memories were shared with that man. He will be missed and always loved.

What can I say that hasn't been said by all the wonderful friends and family that surrounded Fred. I never saw him unhappy. Always with a smile and a hug for everyone. Loved his motor cycle and would drop in to visit (in California). He had a big heart and we will miss his smiling face.

Where to start! A man that wasn't just a friend but like a father as well! Some memories: Hanging with Fred at the Boardy Barn, hanging in Vegas, having a couple of beers and discussing how he was going to miss JB (and how he just built the pool). Fred(Dad) Your spirit and memory will always be part of those who had the honor and privilege to know you. You'll be missed.

Fred, or Uncle Freddie was a total sweetheart- such a nice man- if his day was composed of upset, you would never know. A smile was constantly on his face, not ever a frown. Therefore I dub him to be the "powerhouse of positivity"- great man, gave wonderful hugs, and he will be with us in spirit. He will give God a big old belly laugh daily. Love to all <3

So shocked and saddened to hear of Freds passing. We met Fred and Nancy when they came to visit my sister in Ireland, Fred kept in touch sending me jokes on a regular basis. Will be sadly missed. Our deepest sympathy to the entire family.

At a time in my life when I needed love and support the most, Fred took me into his house with, my cousin, Terry and Nancy for one glorious summer. I have never forgotten that wonderful time and how I was forever part of the Bissert family. It was my second home one where I was always welcome. The last time I saw Fred in he was ready to party. Love you Fred, you will be greatly missed.

I have known Freddie for well over 25 years. Met through the Blue Knights & stayed friends forever. Since he moved to Nevada we kept in contact by phone & occasional vists. He always made me welcome in his home. Always had a big smile, a wonderful laugh & a heart as big as Texas. Many good times were had. I will miss him so very much. Rest in peace. Love, Diane

You will be missed by both Frank and myself. We remember when you and Nancy came to visit us in Ireland and the good time we had. We had no idea about your passing and only found out a few moments ago when we talked to our relatives in Ireland, as somehow we did not receive the email from the family. Again our deepest sympathy

Even though I'd only known Fred since Dec 2010, when I was in town visiting my brother Robert (Fred's friend and co-worker), we broke bread together, shared lengthy convos about writing and had great laughs!!! Sending light and love to Fred's family and closest friends ;D

Fred was a dedicated communicator, always IMing me whenever he and were on line together. My Husband and I worked with Fred for WeServe, but beyond that I rode my motorcycle with Fred on several trips. The most memorable was a trip to a ranch here in Las Vegas where he knew the owners. I always wanted to follow up with them but never got around to it. Fred was a generous/sharing man.

The angels looked down from heaven one night
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
They searched for miles afar,

Keep us free from hurt and pain,
You'll always be within my heart

Fred and I had just talked on Skype. We had worked together at Pan Am for many years and it was good chating with him. He will be missed. Every year I host a party at my house for my Pan Am friends and every year Freddie wanted to attend, but something always came up. When I last talked to him he said he was going to make it this year. He will be with us in spirit this year.

My best friend Freddie: Fred and I met close to 5 years ago at an Outback Steakhouse in Las Vegas. After a couple of hours of conversation he said to me: "I think we may become true friends some day." He was correct. We have traveled together, helped each other when needed and shared lots of good times. For the rest of my life I will miss him more than I can possibly put into words.

Freddie, I found out by chance that you have left us. I am deeply touched by your untimely passing. Just a week ago I spoke to you over SKYPE and you were complaining about an intestinal virus problem. I had no idea how serious it was and cheered you up by telling you to take medication and see a doctor!
With tears in my eyes, I miss you Freddie! Bob + Silke

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.

Big Hearted Guy
January 19, 2019
by Rich Krikalo
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.)
