This sucks!!! Fred was awesome, loved him with the Pistons.

I wonder what he knew about the Clintons.
September 10th, 2019 at 10:34 AM ^
Wouldn't y'all like to know??
Signed, Bubba and Hilary.

Wasn't he announcing pre-season Lions games a few weeks ago?
September 10th, 2019 at 10:44 AM ^
Yeah, he came out of nowhere and I said to myself, "Holy crap that's Fred!"
I have a lot of fond memories watching him do Pistons games. I remember one time he barked at an opposing crowd on the air, it was awesome.

That's too bad. I remember Fred really buffed up at some point and became a health nut. Didn't he do the Lions preseason game last week?

I worked with Fred when he did Pistons games, he was a pleasure to work with. 67 is way too young. I think I heard him do the Lions preseason games on TV this year. Very surprising to learn of his death.

Incredibly sad news. My oldest son worked out with him almost daily at a gym in Rocky River, Ohio. Fred was, by all accounts, one of the nicest and most liked broadcaster here in Cleveland and my Twitter timeline is flooded right now with people just devastated by this news.
Goodbye and Godspeed Fred. I will ALWAYS remember you for this moment.

One of the most egregious series rigg jobs in NBA history crowning a false champion? I don’t really think you can blame Fred for that. Surely you can think of a better memory

Have you ever gone a full week without posting about your affinity for Cleveland sports?
September 10th, 2019 at 10:52 AM ^
Way too young. People here in Cleveland are shocked as well. I’ll never forget his call of the ending of 2016 NBA Finals Game 7 with literal tears in his eyes.

Fred was a class act. Loved him calling the Pistons.
September 10th, 2019 at 11:50 AM ^
Fred was one of the best...was pleasantly happy he did Lions preseason games this season. Was a pleasure to hear him again in the Great Lake State.
September 10th, 2019 at 12:24 PM ^
Whoa, that's a shock. Incidentally, I never knew he was a Cleveland fan all along. He hid it well.

RIP

I loved working with Fred. I did a lot of Pistons games with him and FSD. I would travel to Cleveland sometimes and work a cavs game and he would always light up with a smile and say hello, he was always happy to see a familiar face from Detroit. I worked with him in Houston just a few weeks ago on the Lions pre-season game... you never know when someone will be gone. Love your family, live life to the fullest. Rest easy Fred. You will be missed.

What happened??
September 10th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
He was so good at WJBK and WDIV back in the day.
RIP, Fred.

This is where I remember him. He was always one of my favorites. Sad to hear this.
