Frederick C. Eckart Jr.

Fred will be truly missed by the residents of New Hope Housing's Hamilton Street Residence. The Sunday Morning Call is a significant weekly experience in the life at Hamilton and the friendship that Fred offered to people with challenged lives was but one example of the caring example he set.

The Board and Staff of Interface Samaritan Counseling Centers send heartfelt condolences to all of Fred's family and friends on the occasion of his passing to his eternal reward. His service as a founding board member for over 20 years was a testimony to his giving person and love of Interface. After so many years he left his mark on our ministry that is unequaled. For us who remember him, we salute you for being our friend and loving companion.

I have had the privilege of knowing Fred through Contemplative Outreach. His work with those in prison is especially meaningful to me since I have a son in the Texas prison system. Fred, you will forever be the Saint I pray to for my son, Mike. Your ministry will live on! Love and blessings to your family.

Fred has been a great encourager to me through the years that I have known him. I have been so blessed to see the influence Fred's life had on those who knew him or spent time with him. My heart is heavy today for your loss. I will miss him greatly. God bless your family.
