Frederick Paul Severni Please note - Scout Dog handler Frederick Paul Severni died peacefully in the presence of his family on April 20, 2025.. Fred played high chool basketball, football and baseball, and pitched the Avon, CT Falcons baseball team to the state championship his senior year. He then graduated, four years later, from St. Michael's college in Winooski, VT. Following this, he was drafted and proudly served his country in Vietnam in the 47th IPSD, 101st Airborne Division.
