I worked as a Secretary with Fred at Lehigh University from 1964-1979. He was an extremely intelligent, articulate, fun-loving and unique individual who had a zest for all that life had to offer. Hopefully, he left no stone unturned during his journey on earth. God Bless you, Fred!

I remember Fred as one of my first contacts when I arrived at Lehigh from Germany. His friendliness & personal warmth made me feel welcome and at home. A great friend to have lost. My deepest sympathies and condolences to his family.
