FRED SCHWARTZ

Wonderful who is sorely missed.

To the Schwartz family my sincere condolences. As a young man growing up in Great Neck I was friends with the family and remember very fondly all. Freddie was a personality and always kind and gracious. He sold me my first fur coat for my wife, a golden island fox, which she still owns and I forbid her from either remodeling it or giving to our daughter as it holds a special connection to Fred and the Schwartz family.

I understood he had devoted himself to philanthropy, but never knew...

I was privileged to know and work with Fred for several years. My heartfelt and sincere condolences to Allyne and the entire family on your great loss. Fred was full of passion and dedication to his 'special causes' and was resoundingly successful because that passion came through to all he met.
He will be sorely missed. May his memory be a source of blessing to all the family .

No matter where we met New York, Poland, Long Island, Fred always made me laugh and brought a smile to my face. His energy tireless work and love for mankind will be remembered for all time. Although I was not able to attend the shiva, my thoughts are with his family and my memories of Fred are forever in my heart.

Dear friend for 80 years; great sense of humor; outstanding philanthropist. He will be sorely missed.

I had the honor of meeting Mr Schwartz in Owicim in 2010 while studying at the Auschwitz Institute for Peace and Reconciliation. His work is truly inspiring and will serve not only as a reminder of what was but a sign for all that is possible in the search for peace.

I had the good fortune to work with Fred at the Center from 2003-04. It was a humbling experience to be a part of his vision. My sincere condolences to you, and please know that he changed lives, perceptions and opened hearts and minds. May his memory forever be a blessing.

He certainly was a great man for all the things he did and accomplished. We are glad to have known him personally.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family for the loss of your loved one.
May the "God of all comfort " be with the family and friends, during and after these difficult times.
