FROIM SASS Froim "Fred" Sass, 76, of Las Vegas, a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle and friend, passed away Thursday, Feb. 19, 2015, surrounded by those that loved him so dearly. Fred, as he was known to friends and family, was born May 4, 1938, in Poland, to Max and Cila Sass. Fred was a Holocaust survivor and came to America as a young boy through Ellis Island. He settled into his new life in Boston until 1978, when he moved to Las Vegas. He began his career as a young man on his parent's egg farm.

He was a man of faith and trusted in his Jewish religious beliefs and was a founding member of the Chabad of Southern Nevada. He loved spending time with his family at his home in Newport Beach, Calif., riding his bike, visiting with friends, enjoying the sunshine and blue skies.
