Frederick David Brumbaugh

Fred was a distinguished colleague at 1st Meth. Schenectady; I have been at Zion Lutheran, Schenectady, since 1974 and enjoyed our work together. He had me play several organ recitals at his church over a number of years, and in 1999 we had a joint choir effort with our two churches: the Faure Requiem and two additional anthems, the "Cantique de Jean Racine" of Faure, and "The Lord is My Shepherd" of John Rutter. Fred conducted and I played the organ, as well as accompanying a chamber...

On behalf of the Curran family -- my mother, Nancy Johnsen Curran, and sisters, Connie Curran Trigger and Julia Curran Villarreal -- I send my heartfelt condolences on your loss.

Fred played an important role in the musical life of our family in so many ways.

We remember him as being a patient and inspiring choral director at both the elementary and high school levels.

Mr. Brumbaugh was an incomparable musician and friend to countless thousands of students at both the high school and elementary level, and was a steadfast friend of our family. I owe much of my musical education to his gentle and forthright teaching. His laughter and twinkle in the eye are with me always, and my family hopes the memory of Mr. B's smile and his music will carry his spirit forward in all of us.

My thoughts & prayers to your family. Mr. Brumbaugh was a wonderful part of our experience at Elmer Ave School, both of my children were fortunate enough to have him as their music teacher and the concerts & plays are still part of our great memories of him. He was one of those teachers you always will remember.

Mr. Brumbaugh was a great man and an awesome teacher. He inspired a love for music in countless students. Despite the fact that I "graduated" from Elmer Avenue in 1991, I have thought of Mr. Brumbaugh often. From time to time "My Hat, It Has Three Corners" still comes to mind.

I extend my condolences to his family and those who were close to him.

Fred was a wonderful choral director, teacher and a true gentleman. CDYC will always remember him as a true friend because he sent us so many wonderful singers!
