Frederick Horowitz

He was a sweet and generous man. I might never have made it into the fine arts without his quiet guidance...

I was a student of Fred's years ago when he taught at the University of Michigan. He was a wonderful teacher and I never forgot what he
told me.

I was a close friend of Fred in New Haven, especially in 7th, 8th and 9th grades, when we walked back and forth daily to Sheridan Junior High. We spent a delightful evening together in Ann Arbor a few years back, laughing uproariously as we remembered old times. I remember fondly many happy hours spent in the Horowitz family home on Ray Road. Fred was a wonderful person in so many ways--we will all miss him.

Fred was one of the best teachers I ever had. He brought so much interest and involvement - we couldn't help but do our very best in return. To his family and friends: please accept my deepest sympathy.

Sensitive, caring, present-- those are the words that come immediately to mind, and he was all of those things and more for Jim and me through the years.

Fred was a kind and gentle soul. He was always our family's historian and had many interesting stories to tell. He never ever said an unkind word about anyone. He was an amazing caregiver to his mom when her health was declining. I always told him that he made the best matzo balls I ever had. He was a loving person and cousin and I will never forget him. I am glad that my children and grandchildren had a chance to meet him and finally...I am happy that Fred was a part of my life. I will...

Fred was a dear, sweet man and had become like a brother t me. I shall miss him very much.

I took an art class from Fred in the 1980s and I'll never forget his enthusiasm and the way he brought us along technically. We had a wonderful end-of-class get together at his house and he made soup. He was thoughtful, talented, and encouraging. RIP.

Fred was a teacher of mine and also my mother's at WCC. He was very intense of a teacher and some people found he graded hard. I found I learned the most from him as he was one of my most memorable and likable professors throughout the years. I even saw him in the halls at UofM once I began going there, as he was a guest professor there as well. I still have all my work from his color theory class and will always hold him in high regard, as will my mother. I also very much enjoyed his stories...
