I am not certain why today I decided to go back and read the memories that so many wrote about fred. Ironically it is 6 months to the day of Fred's death, I had no idea. When you are caught up with the moment many may not take the time to read everything. For the past 45 minutes I have and it has been an enjoyable and amazing 45 minutes. The number of peole Fred influenced is remarkable. I only

Hey, Fred: Thank You for the Music

"Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me" (ABBA)

We miss you now, and always will.
Your California Jacobsen Family

Headline: Jesus gets #1 draft pick for the game of life……..

Fred Jordan, a versatile hard throwing lefty from Sherborn, MA recently joined the team. Picked up from AAA club, Jordanistan, Fred brings his all-around game to the lineup. Jesus was quoted as saying, “this kid can throw, he can hit, he’s a singer and dancer, plays many instruments and knows how to have fun”.

Fred’s joy for life was contagious. He was gifted with a powerful intellect, multiple talents and an unusual self-confidence, such that achievement came easily to him. For all of his ability and success, there was an underlying humility. It seemed he was grateful for the bounty life brought his way. He lifted others in their journey, as he enthusiastically encouraged friends to achieve their goals and inspired others to believe in themselves.

Fred and I met in 1984 when we

I had the privilege of attending Weston High with Fred, and regret to have lost touch with him since. As I read about his wonderful, rich and fulfilling life through others' memories, it is easy to imagine the teenager I knew growing into the wonderful man described here. Insofar as I was concerned in high school, Fred was smarter, a better singer, a ralented musician, a better athlete and a nicer person in every way compared to me....a guy who

A delightful picture adorns my front hallway, of my daughter Blake, hitting a ball tossed by Fred in the backyard of the Jordan's home on Nantucket. It was nearly a decade ago that picture was taken!
But it embodied everything the Jordan family offered to their community and friends; love, friendship, generosity, strength of spirit, enthusiasm for live and gratitude.
I love that photo and it's been there for years, but as I now continue to pass it daily, I keep
