Sad

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

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.

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.

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.
