Sticklen Family,
I learned of Fred´s passing from an old college friend who lives in Springfield. I met Fred at Ohio University our freshman year and we were roommates the next year until he left school. We played a lot of basketball, went to all the games and of course enjoyed the party atmosphere at OU. Unfortunately after he left Athens we lost contact and probably haven´t spoken for 50 years. I´m sorry we never had a chance to catch up.
My condolences to the family.
