Dr. Frederick Carrock, 94, of Paramus, passed away on Tuesday, October 14, 2025. Fred was a man of deep faith and endless curiosity, known for his powerful presence in church and boundless love for learning. In his early years, Fred studied and taught Chemistry at Syracuse University. Over the course of his career, he held 44 patents, which drove innovations at General Electric, Mobil Oil, and Tupperware. Fred's work took him across the globe- from Texas to international projects in Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. Fred loved to read, travel, and play cards with loved ones. Above all, he found joy in sharing his wisdom and encouraging those he loved.
Beloved best friend of Magda Pagnozzi and her late husband, Ralph. Cherished grandfather of Gene, Alexa, and Cassie Pagnozzi, who lovingly knew him as their grandpa. Survived by his granddaughter, Stacy Pechter. Predeceased by his wife, Theda, and his daughters, Caroline and Marilyn.
