Remembering Fred today and we hope Joan that we will be able to see you in the coming Year.

I will always miss you Dad. I am hoping I am as positive an influence on other people's lives as you were when my time comes to move on.Thank you so much for everything I have learned from you. Love, Scott

Fred was a brilliant, intelligent and resourceful man, using his prodigious talents to both help others and to forge a wider understanding of art and humankind. I have many memories of him at Camp in the Adirondacks -a formidable presence on the paddle tennis court, lively conversationalist at dinner, and always willing to join in the fun. He will be missed by many friends and family, but most of all by Joan - the two of them had the best marriage of any two people I have known. Much love...

Fred was a fellow resident of mine at Payne Whitney. We played tennis together for many years, and it was Fred who introduced my wife, Leslie, and me to Redding, Ct. where we have lived for the past 46 years. I have many fond memories of him.

Fred and his cousins, brother and sister
