PapPaw to the great joys of his life, his grandchildren: Brandon Hedge, Bryan Hedge, Kendall Hackler and Landon Hackler; his sister, Donnie Mitchell of Florida; his brother, Roger Hedge of Virginia; and his former wife, Liz Hedge of Trinidad, TX. Freddie was a proud retired Air Force Veteran, enlisted at the young age of 17 and retired just shy of 28 years of service. Decorated with numerous medals, awards and letters of commendations, including a Korean Service Medal and a Bronze Star for his service in the Vietnam War. Stationed the majority of his career, a little over 13 years total, in Okinawa, Japan, the Air Force kept him moving with over 17 places he'd call home temporarily, including Tripoli, Libya; Republic of the Congo, Leopoldville; Chia-Yi, Taiwan, in addition to a number of US bases. After retiring from the Air Force, he settled in Dallas, TX and worked in the transportation industry for approximately 10 years before retiring altogether to enjoy volunteering in his community, walks in the park with his dog, J-Lo, and enjoying his grandchildren.
