Few people have had a more powerful influence on my life than Fred. He was a coach, a mentor, a friend. Meticulous in his instruction on technique, tireless and visionary in his advocacy for squash at all levels, Fred was driven by his deep passion, and strong sense of purpose. Perhaps his most valuable, yet underappreciated characteristic, was the fact that Fred was simply always there, expressing that he cared modeling for all of us a life well lived. This is just some of what I'll remember, and miss, about Fred. May he rest in peace knowing hundreds carry on his values.

Fred had such a positive influence on my life. Teaching me squash, taking me to tournaments and to Australia in 1978! I would not have achieved success in squash without Fred and Carol. They made such a difference in my life and I will always appreciate their love and support. They started the squash program in Brooklyn Heights that is alive and well today.Love you both and thank you Fred for all your time, energy and caring. Love you, Alicia

Uncle Fred was a great guy. He inspired me to find a career that I love to show up for every day, as he did. I'll miss his easy going, humble way.
