Freddie’s laughter echoed through Great Arrow Auto, his spirit lighting up every corner. I fondly recall our ride in the towering tow truck—his joy infectious as we soared above the cityscape. His warmth and kindness will linger in our hearts, a reminder of the joy he brought. Though he’s gone, his smile remains, a beacon of happiness that will forever guide us. Rest easy, Freddie. You will be missed deeply.
