FREDERICK RUCHTE 1953-2019
Our hearts are heavy with the passing of Frederick Paul Ruchte on November 4th, 2019. Fred had an abundance of generosity, wit and humor that created such a unique spirit that we couldn't get enough of him. His 66 years were full and yet, not enough. ...Read MoreI used to walk home from school with Fred, leaving him at his door on Ivy Street. I knew his dad had moved to Humboldt State, and went looking for his office when I spoke there one time at a math conference. I could not find his office -- but guess who I bumped into? Fred!
