Hello,
Love the website! Do you have any information on retired NFL officials from the 70’s and 80’s like Ben Dreith, Fred Silva, and my all-time favorite referee, Bob Frederic? Thanks!
I worked for Bob Frederic for 12 years in Denver. He owned Colorado’s oldest printing Company. He was a great guy, he passed away a few years back.
Silva and Frederic have passed away. Dreith is in his early 80s and is living a life if retirement. Dreith sued the league for age discrimination accusing the league of grading officials over the age of 60 more harshly than y0unger officials. Dreith won a cash settlement from the league. Silva and Jack Fette also sued the league on the same grounds and split a cash settlement.
Dreith officiated two Super Bowls and Silva officiated one. Frederic never got the big game.
