Not sure what to say?

I worked for Fred in the 80' out of the Floor Shoppe in Kirkland after working there in 1985 I started my own Ceramic tile installation company called S'Tile. Sorry to hear of his passing.

In 1966-67, I was the boy's advisor at Cascade High School and Fred was the Boys' Club president. He was a dedicated president and a fine leader. He was a three sport athlete (co-captain of the football team) at Cascade and a top scholar who was in the Honor Society. I had not seen Fred for years but the obituary indicated he had a very successful life. That does not surprise me; sounds like he carried those outstanding qualities he exhibited at Cascade into his adult life. My deepest...

I graduated with Fred in 1967. I remember him to be a nice guy. My condolences to his family. ❤

I remember Fred as a pitcher for Cascade High School, I played for Meadowdale. Good guy. Left handed if I remember correctly. RIP Fred.

I first met Fred at North Junior High School. We played basketball and baseball together. Fred's reputation in the world of youth sports was quite large. I first heard about him when we played his Lion's and I was on the Colt's in Pop Warner Football. After the seventh grade, I moved to the View Ridge area and went to South Jr. for eight and ninth grade and we once again were foes in football and basketball.

I was delighted when I found out his family also moved to the View...

Fred was a star athlete in his day. Starting with little league. Our dad loved going to those games. In high school he played all sports. He went to the UW. He was the first in our family to graduate college. May you rest in peace Fred.

Fred meant so much to our family throughout the years. He was one of a kind and the world will be a much bleaker place without him in it. Robi, you and the family are in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time and beyond.

He was a great friend and mentor to me. I will miss him gtreatly
