Fred had that spark. He was funny doing nothing. Even just standing still he got laughs. And when he happened to be in the audience, nobody laughed more generously. I just saw him before quarantine and I already miss him. He was my biggest fan and I was his. Fred and Mary were so kind to me for decades. Their parties were legendary. Sending a big virtual hug to his daughter Hope and her son Freddy Junior — as well as Fred’s countless fans and best pal Bernie Shine
