Sending prayers of love and strength to the family !

To family members. I´m so sorry for the loss of a really good friend. I´ve known Fred for over 40 years. From our days of resurrecting the NC Industrial Hygiene Association to sharing experiences in Knoxville, Greensboro,Winston Salem and of course when we both lived in Clemmons. He helped me start my industrial hygiene business after I retired from RJR. We teamed up on many Asbestos projects. We had a small group of guys that used to meet monthly and share stories. I´ve since moved to South...

Chris & Cathy, family. I am so sorry for your loss. Greensboro, NC, friends like family back then. You played with Jeff & Sami and your parents were our people. We lost touch when we all moved in different parts of the country, Donna and I would chat and promise to meet up. Just wasn't in the cards. I am glad Fred & Donna are back together and hopefully your memories will make the loss easier. Your parents were good people and ya'll were very blessed to have them.

As one of Fred´s nurses, I had the privilege of caring for him during his last days. He was so impressive in his humor, outlook on life, his brilliance, and his kind spirit. He welcomed me with a smile every time I visited. I will never forget him and feel so honored to have been a part of his last wish to pass in his beautiful home with his sweet Choco by his side.

Fred was a genuine, warm hearted person! He was a steadfast friend of my father, Paul Gundlach. He would do anything to help Paul. When Paul was in rehab for a broken hip, Fred would come to visit often. He came to the fair with us and helped push my dad around in his wheelchair. My father always talked of him with affection. His positive energy would lift everyone's spirit. He will be missed.
