The staff and board at the Museum of Contemporary Art were lucky enough to call Fred a friend and to have known him through his philanthropy and support of the museum.

The Yale Club of Chicago, the Yale community in Chicago, and I wish to express our sincere condolences over the passing of Fred. Though so very modest, Fred was truly a giant in the Yale community, both here and in New Haven.

We are very sorry for your loss.
