Deepest condolences to your family.

Fred is a very passionate gentleman and is a good friend to many of us, especially to our General Atomics Company friends and coworkers. To sum up Fred's legacy: He is a scholar, a wonderful gentleman and a good technical leader, who also helps a lot of friends when these friends were in trouble, both in technical and/or personal family life!

We hope to continue our friendship with Margaret and offer our support if ever she needs it.

I miss my friend.
