FILSOOF, Fred Fred Filsoof passed away in the arms of his family on November 26, 2019 and will be deeply missed. "Uncle Fred" was born in Kermanshah, Iran, and lived an extraordinary life. The eldest of four children, he came to United Stated at the young age of 18, where he attended Belmont Abbey College and later North Carolina State, where he graduated with a degree in engineering. All while supporting his family after his father passed away, Fred then received his law degree from Emory Law School and established a very successfully law practice. Forever moving forward, Fred then founded a real estate management and development company, which also achieved incredible success. Notwithstanding his professional accomplishments, Fred's proudest achievement was always his family. He was the best son any parents could ask for and was an outstanding husband and father. He was predeceased by his mother, Saltanat Filsoof, and his father, Davoud "David" Filsoof. He was also predeceased by his brother-in-law, Alvin Siegel. Fred is survived by his soulmate, Terasa Filsoof, his four children, David Filsoof, Nader Filsoof, Joshua Filsoof and Rachel Filsoof, his granddaughter Charlotte Filsoof, his two sisters Mimi Siegel (Larry Cohen) and Mina Rose, and his brother Adel Filsoof (Guity Filsoof). Funeral Services will be held on Friday, November 29, 2019, at 10:00 a.m. at Ahavath Achim Synagogue (600 Peachtree Battle Avenue, Atlanta, GA 30327). Interment will follow at Greenwood Cemetery.

I met Fred many years ago and was saddened to see that he had passed away. I remember a very fine young man who seemed to love and treasure his family more than anything and I pray that the Lord will be with his family as they heal from such a terrible loss.

I am so sorry for your loss, of which I just learned. AI knew Fred when we were both engineers at Western Electric and he was attending law school in the evenings at Emory. I had just graduated Emory, and was still living in the dorm. He gave me rides back to the campus a few times in his convertible, and we became friends. I remember his mother and sisters, whom I met at his house (Long Island Dr?), and how sad he was at the loss of his father the previous year. I married the following year and moved to NYC, but I have fond memories of Fred. He became quite a success. He was a good human being. I will visit his grave the next time I go to Greenwood to visit my friend, Herschel Rothenberg. May his memory be for a blessing. I will remember him on his Yahrzeits.✡

I send condolences to Fred's family. I met him in the early 70s and we had a friendship for years. He encouraged me when I was in law school and I wish his family the very best. He was proud of his children. My best to all of you.
