  3. No disrespect to him, but I’ve seen his name a lot this week while most of the Ukrainian victims are just anonymous numbers and that feels iffy and wrong.

  4. It is time for Europe to smoke out rushia

    Then volunteers with pure gold in their hearts like Fred can pour in and help without losing their lives.

    It’s time

  7. Americans and Ukrainian’s share a bond now that can never be broken. Even by politics. When. I drive around the towns and cities in Massachusetts, I see Ukrainian flags flying everywhere!

  8. RIP Fred, living his own life and set a fine example.

  9. RIP Fred. Sorry your life was cut short by those bloodthirsty bastards.
