I worked with Christine for a few years. I enjoyed her stories of her Dad. It was obvious that they were very close. I never met her Dad but there is no doubt he was a great guy. Thinking of you, Christine, and your entire family. God bless.

To Freddies family, I send my deepest condolences. The Hernandez kids and the Galaz kids were so close growing up. My brother Vince Galaz and Freddie were best buds. My sister, Lola Galaz Marckstadt and Ruby were best friends. My cousin Virginia Valencia and myself were like sisters with Angie. It breaks my heart to know that Fred has passed. Albeit, it has been a long time since I had physically seen him other than FB. He was the sweetest guy and so gentle. Im sure he was an amazing Dad and Grandpa. I will treasure the memories I have of him always. Prayers of love, strength and comfort go out to all of you. ❤🙏🏼🙏🏼

I knew Fred since I was around 10 or 11 years old. He was friends with my cousins Vincent Galaz, Virgina Valencia, Lupe Galaz and the rest of my many relatives. I use to visit Mama Tommys ( my grandmother) house every Sunday. My cousins would see, Angie Hernandez, sometimes Ruby Hernandez (my cousin Lola was in Rubys Wedding) and of course, Fred. The Galaz Family, Valencia Family and the Hernandez Family were very close. I knew Fred growing up. He was a couples of years older than me. I did not know his name was actually Alfred. I only knew him as Fred. He was my cousin Vince (Chentes) best friend. Fred was such a nice boy and I had a small crush on him.
I am sad he is gone from us, but I will always remember him knowing he is with our Lord.
Condolences to his Family and prayers to all of you.
With much love
