Fred L. Jacobsen

I learned a million things from Fred, he was the most knowledgeable person in our EH&S Department and loved to share his knowledge in a respectful, personable, and helpful way. He always had his door open and everyone came to Fred for advice on every topic related to campus health and safety, for his wide spectrum mastery. During the years when my office was next door to his, I always got to hear about everything important happening on campus! Love you, Fred!

Fred always greeted everyone with a smile! Met him when he was with EH&S and I worked at Employee Health. Wonderful to live one block away and could enjoy visits with he and Nadine walking their beautiful dogs. What a great couple. They will be missed many! My condolences to the family.

Fred was a wonderful mentor and boss. His sense of humor and sense of fun made working with him a pleasure. I learned so much from him. He will be missed.

I was so sad to hear about Fred. He was my co-worker, Car pool buddy and also my neighbor. May he rest in peace. My deepest condolences to his family. ❤

Fred and I became office mates in 1984. We soon became fast friends.

Later, Fred became my Assistant Director of Environmental Health & Safety. He gave me a sign when I was appointed director and told me to read it very carefully. It read "Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill." Fred had a good sense of humor.

So sorry to hear about Fred. My condolences to you and Judy. I know the pain of losing a brother. He had a wonderful life and will be missed as well as remembered. Be safe.
