Freddie was born on February 7, 1925 in San Antonio, Texas to Frederick, Sr. and Vida Mueller; he was raised and educated in the city of Alamo Heights. He was called into service during World War II; fighting in combat in the mountains of Northern Italy.

I have such fond memories of your parents. I love remembering them all!
I was so sorry to hear of Freddie’s death. I used to enjoy his visits to the house. Freddie liked Thom, and if he saw his car in the driveway, he would stop for a visit. We both had a garden, and sometimes we shared our veggies. I knew Freddie served in the military but not to that extent, and I surely didn’t know he played the drums in the orchestra! He was a big part of the history of Rollingwood, and we will miss him. Freddie was a character. I think he was ready to check out without Helen. I wish we could be at his internment, but we have a trip planned to Peru on the 6th of July. We send our love, prayers and condolences. Sandra and Thom Farrell
