I had the pleasure of meeting Freddy and his son in Portland,OR while I was working at KWJJ radio. We spent about 3 days on a promotional venture and I never met a man I liked more. I will always have fond memories of some of our adventures and conversations. I remember asking him if he thought he was a better actor than a singer, this was shortly after "Milagro Bean Field Wars" was released....and he said "Anytime I can come home at four in the morning and my wife greets me at the door with a tortilla roller and I not only talk her into letting me in but fix me breakfast too, I must be a pretty good actor!"..........I really miss this guy.
