Fred worked in my team in Ft. Collins 1993-1995. I remember him being a very smart guy, commited to perform a high level quality job and standing out as a very loyal teamplayer. I also appreciated his special sense of humor. Once, he took me to a local ice hockey game where his son was a top performer. Fred was so proud of him. Sad to see him leaving that soon.

I enjoyed working with Fred for several years at HP. Fred was a consummate professional, extremely intelligent, and earned the respect and trust of all his colleagues. He was all business when it mattered, and a great guy with a terrific laugh the rest of the time. I’ll miss Fred.

I was only 7 when Fred became my only sister's Steady Freddy - which he didn't beat me up for calling him! He has been my big brother for nearly as long as the 2 I was born with, and he cared for me, supported me, and encouraged me. And what is more, he took great care of my beloved big sister, and gave me my first neice and nephew, who I dearly love. I will always love Fred. I'm so glad he was my brother, and I pray that I will see him again.
