does anyone know if freddie's father is still living???

No, I understand he isn't, and is buried near Freddie (or next to him?) in Forest Lawn Cemetery.

He is buried in the crypt next to Freddie at Forest Lawn under Freddie's true last name.

does anyone know approx. what year he passed away and what did he die from? thank you

Freddie's father died around lare 70's of throat cancer He is buried next to his son> ive been at freddie's grave and seen his name there. Freddie was the best. It was sad that mo one helped him. Cant blame wife. She was dealing with a 10 month baby and a husband always high.

What is Freddie's fathers name anyway? Is it Karl Pruetzel?

Yes! Now, does anybody know how to pronounce that last name?

hi jenny,
freddie's fathers name is Edward Karl Pruetzel.
(pruetzel)......(pru-et-zel)....just the way you see it. just break it up like that. i believe the name "pruetzel" is german. i believe he was born in germany.

Mmm... i wonder if freddie's father spoke hungarian and german. those languages are alike. Mmm... if so, freddie probably spoke those languages too. and there is know telling what other languages freddie spoke. freddie was sooooooooo smart.

Tracy did you know he had a high iQ they tested him and he was in the genius level. A man with a grat body, face, and mind. A 10 in my eyes.

hi hoganite,
i did not know that he was tested for an IQ test but i did read that he built his own radio and that he was a genius.i can tell that freddie was a genuis on the show. he had quick hands on the show. all those different dialects he could do. play the guitar. probably spoke several different languages. so much talent.

I agree with you all... He was such a talented man. With all the impersonations he did, he had a good ear! He even went to a good school, Thanks to his parents who fed his flair for the dramatics... That's why I will always love Freddie. He was so gifted.

Freddie's father spoke German,Spanish and English...Freddie also played drums in a band with his best friend Nat.... It was also said that because of all of the different languages around Freddie's house he was very slow to talk....He did not talk til he was 3....
