Nick introduced Amanda and I to Fred on a payphone out West. By the time we returned to Racine, the 4 of us were a crew. I was shocked and saddened to hear about Fred's passing. He always said he hoped to go first because he could not stand to lose any of us. Eternal peace and love old friend; you will not be forgotten.
I have wonderful memories of our Indianapolis 500 trips with Fred and his dad. And including Fred on the golf course? And in a Brewers hat instead of the requisite Cubbies?
He will be sorely missed.
Our condolences to the family.
I'm gonna miss Fred. Way too early. Great kind soul. Go out of his way to be helpful. Always cheerful. Always upbeat. Thanks for being a part of my life.
Years ago Fred and I worked together on our church website. Through this we formed a bond and became good friends. He called often and we had many long conversations. They all ended with I love you. I will miss him tremendously. So sad to lose him at such a young age. My condolences to Jaisy and his family. Karen Johnson.
I met Fred through his SAP/BW consulting work with Hitachi in NY. We became good friends and working with him was easy and fun. Fred was so smart, funny, friendly, caring and a great person to confide in if you needed advice of any sort. We had fun conversations comparing the quiet and the beauty of his surroundings in Wisconsin to the buzz of NYC.
My sincere condolences go out to his family and friends.
May you rest in peace my good friend. We will all miss you very much. I already do.

Wow! Way to soon my friend. Our sincere condolences and prayers for Jaisy and your families. We have known Fred for over 18 years and I have always said he had the heart of giant. As a neighbor we laughed that Fred was our oldest child, even sharing take home meals as we did with our blood relatives. Fred loved to poke fun and throw you jab every chance he had, yet he had that smile and laugh to follow it up. Was willing to help my son learn guitar and harmlessly crepe out our daughters high school girl friends giving them the PHISH …" Greatest Band in the world speech"!
FYI "CUBS LLLLOOSE Fred" One last timely jab back at you buddy!
We'll miss you and hearing how many songs Played on the last show.
Dave, Barb, Julia and Nick
