To Fred's family: I meant it when I said that Fred was very well liked, respected and admired. I never heard anyone say a word against him.I am so sorry this happened, he was a real asset to everyone here. Personally I was inspired by him to go on learning in many areas. I remember talking with him in his office with classical music playing and looking at his beautiful astronomy pictures. No one will ever forget him, and we all feel for you in your loss.
