oh my gosh... now I know why the emails in the last year wouldn't go through! Barb, I'm so sorry for your loss! We sure had fun on the Alaskan RV trip in 2001 and treasure those memories. Fred was a very special guy who is missed by many!

Barb,
I just heard that Fred had passed away.
You have our sympathy for your loss.
Fred and I go back to the days at Arden Hills working for Control Data.
We worked hard, did the best we could and helped build a great company. Fred was always professional, great to work with, was good with people and loved a good round of golf. I remember how proud he was of that new Motor Home you purchased upon his retirement. It was my pleasure to have known him. Thank you for all the time you shared him with the people at work.

My sympathies to Barb and your family. I enjoyed working with Fred at Ceridian including many trips. I remember telling Fred that we should get new laptops - ones that had color displays. Fred replied: "You have color - black and white." He was a great guy to work with!

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I will always cherish the memories of Fred and Barb taking Arlene Maki and I to dinner and then to see Neil Diamond - how special they made the evening. Fred was truly a gentleman and a delight to work with and for - we always knew we were appreciated. I wish I could tell you in person how respected and liked he was; however, circumstances prevent my attending his services today. My deepest sympathy to each of you.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I worked for Fred many years ago at Control Data/Ceridian. Fred always had a smile on his face and a friendly word to say. He will truly be missed by many people.

Our deepest sympathy to Barb & the entire family. We share grandchildren with them & enjoyed seeing Fred at family gatherings & hockey & baseball games where Fred cheered on whichever child was playng with a huge smile. His family will never forget the Alaskan vacation he treated all of them to earlier this year. What a wonderful memory for all of them. He will truly be missed.

My deepest sympathy to Fred's family. I worked with him for many years at Control Data/Ceridian, and he was one of my favorite people. Fred was the nicest man, always in a good mood, and it was always such a pleasure to see him. A fond memory of Fred is that he was usually whistling when he came around the corner. He will be missed by many people.

Fred was an important member of the finance organization at Control
Data/Ceridian for many years. He was smart, hard working, steady and he brought calm and a sense of values to his work. My condolences to his family. He left a wonderful legacy for all of you.
