I worked with Fred for 20 years at the Shoreham Hotel, and he was one of the nicest person to be associated with. We spent many projects working together and he was always there to help and assist with the many problems that arose in an old building. He will be greatly missed by all! My heartfelt sympathy to the entire Ricker family.

I worked at the Omni Shoreham and in the Omni Global Sales office for many years and knew Fred. He was an amazing man and helped us so many times when we needed carpentry assistance as well as just being a fun gentleman. My heartfelt sympathy to your family at this time.
