Fred was a joy to know and to talk to. He was always nice to everyone and made you feel better after talking to him. I'm sure your memories of him will make the loss easier to bear. With deepest sympathy.

I was just thinking about Mr and Mrs Krone the other day and remembering visiting Wanda at their house down the street from ours while growing up. Fred worked with my dad, Charlie Hergett, at Sangamo for years. Such a sweet person! I always enjoyed talking with him. He always kept me informed about Mrs. Krone and Wanda when we'd chat. He always had a smile on his face and kind words for everyone.
My sympathy goes out to his family. I know he'll be missed by all.
