Read MoreSaddened to read of Mr. Voss's passing. I met him and his wife years ago at my place of employment. He was an exceptional gentleman who believed passionately in keeping the message, "Never Again", in all of our minds. Thank you to his family for allowing him to share his time with so many of us. He was certainly an admirable human being.

Dear Ilse and Claudia,
We have got to know Fred and you more than 10 years ago by email and phone. In 2015 we visited you in Ithaca for a week and were very impressed that you welcomed us without any prejudice and with great cordiality, although we are from Germany.
We are very sad about Fred's death and miss him already. We will never forget him and keep the memory

Fred and I worked together for many years at Liberty Travel. His many tours to Alaska and Hawaii made him many friends and loyal clients. Personally what he taught me I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Prays for the family.
