My deepest sympathies to the family for your loss. I graduated with Fred in 1966 and we shared many memories at our reunions and luncheon get togethers at Williams Restaurant.
You will be missed, RIP Fred. Once a Warrior always a Warrior!!

I am very saddened to hear of Fred’s passing. He was (and still is) a mentor to me and a fine gentleman. I thoroughly enjoyed working with and learning from Fred about “all things quality” and “doing it right.”
