Dear Sandy and family,

So sad to hear about Fred. He was a bright spot in my years at Kaiser. Always happy and an unmatched sense of humor. The year and a half, before he retired, Dorothy and I were privileged to have him moved into our work station. He was an excellent Boss and became a good friend. Will miss seeing his smiling face.
" soft and safe to thee my friend be thy resting place. Bright and glorius be thy rising from it."

Fred was a one-ofa-kind person. I knew him during my years at Kaiser Permanente in Walnut Creek. One of my fond memories of Fred was watching his face turn beet red and sweating profusely...after eating spicey food. And he always had that smile and twinkle in his eye. We'll all miss you, Fred.

I will always remember Fred for his smile and great sense of humor he will be missed!

We shall always remember his sharp wit and sense of humer.

I always enjoyed meeting my father's friends at work, his patients, his hiking buddies, his students, and people who he shared time with outside of the family. Thank you for sharing your best wishes and memories. You all meant a great deal to him as well.

You were a big part of my life growing up Fred, you will be missed by many.
