Frederick Theodore Haddock

Richard and Thomas- my sincere sympathy for your loss. I recall meeting your dad back in the 60's, he seemed to be very jovial and talkative. I know those were difficult times for all, and I pray that you enjoyed your times together all this time.
I hope we can gather some time during my annual trip to Michigan or back in the California area with Richard.

Dear Richard & Thomas, surviving sons:

Fred Haddock was my mentor when I came to work at the Radio Observatory. He guided me through my quest for my Phd. He also was the chairman of my committee. His passing is the loss of a great man in Radio Astronomy as well as his other interests.

Fred Haddock was one of the most spiritual individuals I had the pleasure to know.
