I fondly remember the music, and meeting Freddy in person at the New Mexico state fair in 1979/80. An all around nice guy ! Memories........
My condolences to his family.

My father played the Steel Guitar for Freddy during his Pittsburgh, PA. stop over at The Twin Coaches while on tour supporting his hit, "Before The Last Teardrop Falls" back in the '70's. They hit it off together and Freddy was quickly referring to my father as "brother". This is where I met the man who would become a legend, backstage, doing two shows a night at a country music venue in western Pennsylvania. Unfortunatley, my father did not continue on tour with Freddy, despite Freddy's persistence, but they did stay in touch for a little while thereafter.

Later in life, and every now and then, I would see Freddy's name on a marquee somewhere, or see him featured in a magazine or on television, and I would just smile and flash back to that magical night that I met him, where I watched him perform from the side of the stage, flawlessly. I, of course, have pictures of him and I together as well as an autographed 8 x 10 from those performances...which I will cherish.

Freddy was one of the great ones. He far outlasted many artists of his time and it was very obvious that he enjoyed what he was doing. He will be greatly missed by everyone that not only knew him persnoally, but also by those that met him briefly or by those that were touched by his music.

Vangie: In Mexico we will always say that altought Freddy No esta aqui, no esta aqui, we'll always dance Acapulco Rock until the next tear drop falls, and that listening his music will light and fill our wasted days and nights up.

I had A tape writion with Freddy Fender from An old LP record Album that no longer was used that was also had saved on 90 minute Irish tape and also had A very best of Freddy Fender The Millennium Collection on CD and that I was continue to get more of his CDs and that I feel sorry for him that he died of Cancer and that he was a good singer and a writer if anyone wants to mail me please use my Adress 41 pine Street Selden NY 11784 or Call me 696-5343 at

My condolences to the family. I will miss freddie Fender, I went to several shows of his,he spoke with me and I thought he was a very down to earth friendly person, no one can ever replace him, his style of music was original and that's why he was so loved by everyone. He was the best! He is in a better place in heaven and hopefully met my Mother by now, because she also loved his music very much when she was alive. I will always keep him alive with his music which I listen to all the time.

I will miss anything new that Freddie would have had to offer us, in saying that I was very sad to hear of his death. Love his singing. My heart of sympathy goes out to his family.

sorry for your loss he was a great singer and still is he'll never be forgoten
love DIANE FRIAS AND FAMILY
