This is an incredible downer. Fred will always be the Voice of the Bruins in my mind. I remember listening to him do the play by play on a 7″ (you read that right) black and white tv in my bedroom because my mom wouldn’t allow hockey on the ‘family’ tv. By all accounts he was a class act all the way. Here’s hoping the B’s and/or NESN do something classy in his memory.
