So sorry to hear about the passing of Fred. Although he worked in the Consumer Films development group, Fred always took a liking to me when issues crossed over from Motion Picture films into Consumer films. He was a joy and pleasure to work with and I learned a lot from him in our few interactions. May God bless your soul, Fred.

Andrew, Emily, and family, please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers during this time of loss.

He taught me to tie my shoes when I was 4 years old. He did so with patience and laughter. He was such a fun young man. May his memory be a blessing.

Fred was always there to offer fatherly advice. I always admired his good deeds, especially lending a hand with Habitat for Humanity and helping to build houses. He was such caring and loving soul and I will miss so much.

Fred was a kind, compassionate, and gentle soul. I cherish the time that we got to spend on our many ministries at Trinity. I was so blessed to have Fred in my life. He made me want to be a better person.

I will always remember the kind and generous man Fred was. Fred and my husband Bill worked together for many years and Bill and I enjoyed a friendship with Fred and Molly. We had great dinners together, Molly especially enjoyed the French dinner a Rooney's. After Fred and I both lost our spouses we continued those dinners with a bottle of wine and great conversation. I will miss that Fred, rest on peace my friend.

I'm so saddened to hear of Fred's passing. Both he and Molly were fantastic people who loved and cared for so many. They were the first contributors to Ernashope 21 years ago and something Erna I always cherished. My prayers for his family. He will be missed

I am very sad to hear of Fred's passing. Fred was a great person and good friend. I worked with Fred in the Kodacolor Film development group at Eastman Kodak. Fred was a very optimistic and kind person. He had a great sense of humor and loved to tell jokes. He is reunited again in Heaven with his beloved Molly. God Bless Fred, He will be sorely missed by all.
