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
