I have added Fred's obituary to the Fullerton Union High School alumni blog so that more of his friends and classmates may see it.
I could not find Fred or his sister or brother listed in the FUHS database, so I emailed Joan Grigsby Sorsabal, the Pow Wow class rep for the FUHS class of 1948, to see if he had graduated from FUHS. She found him in her annuals in the class of 1947.
Our school salutes this heroic member.
