My condolences to Terri and family and all who knew Fernando. I remember Freddie with much love. He was one of the most wonderful persons I have ever met. When I arrived at Gold in the early 80’s I was slated to work in Costumes. One of the first jobs I worked on were the costumes for the Golden Era Musicians who were to play at a Golden Era event in PAC. That’s when I first met Fernando. I was immediately won over by his winning wide smile, good looks, calm, loving, playful beingness and wonderful sense of humor. Fernando was always a calming influence, raising the spirits of any area he stepped into. He will be sorely missed for now, in this world, but I’m sure he has been welcomed with loud huraahs in the next! We shall meet again.

Fernando was arguably the most kind ex SO member I ever knew. I am sorry we had an upset about 7-8 years ago. He was such a kind person.

Terri, I am so sorry to hear of Fernando’s passing. I treasure the time Jeff and I spent with you both when we visited. Fernando was a gentle soul and good company. I remember him showing us his lovely, new black car, and the lovely smile he had as he sat in it. We have both lost wonderful men. Maybe they are reminising together. Lots of love, Jill Harris.

Freddy was one of the truly gentle souls ever in the Sea Org. He and I became great friends at Gold and when I found out about his passing I was deeply saddened. My heart goes out to Tez, Janis, and his family.
