Freddy Kassab, was the stepfather of Colette and by extension the grandfather of Kimberly and Kristen. When they died on February 17, 1970, a piece of Freddy went away as well. But enough was left for him to pursue justice for them, and successfully encourage others to do so as well. He felt he had no other choice. What else would you have had him do? He gladly dedicated all his remaining years for them. He pushed, he argued, he did whatever he felt he could, and then when he could not do any more, he did. He never gave up. He was simply an unconditional man. And he was my friend.
