Fred was such a great guy and good friend. Bill and I so enjoyed knowing him. He and Judy made a great pair and built a great family that filled their lives with joy. Fred will be greatly missed. May he Rest In Peace.

Judy & family, we were so saddened to learn of Fred's passing & we send our deepest sympathy to you & your family. RIP Fred.

Mr. Kunz was one of my favorite teachers at Eisenhower. What a wonderful, fun Science teacher. Glad to have had him as a teacher and mentor.

One of the greatest guys to walk this earth
Coolest teacher ever...
Never was a dull moment....

In addition to being an excellent teacher and educator, you could always count on Fred for a smile and a keen sense of humor. We had great times and a lot of laughs. I attended many meetings with Fred and admired his quick thinking and sharp wit. He always had a comeback line which could one up an off key remark, or misleading fact, in the blink of an eye. I tried to keep up with him in that professional look, but had a real challenge there. He always looked like he just finished a GQ cover...

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I worked with Fred for many years at Science Olympiad events or school district science committees. He was a kind man and so dedicated to teaching kids about science. It was an honor working with him. Sympathy to his family.

Very sorry to hear about Mr. Kunz. He was my teacher at Wilson. WOW! 47 years. I'm only on 38. Guess I should be abler to hang in there for a few more. Quite an inspiration! He'll be missed.
