To the Kaufman Family,
I knew Fred from Beckman Jr. High and Indiana University. He smiled whenever he entered a room! I had the good fortune to see him and exchange hugs a week before the pandemic shut everything down in Atlanta in March 2020. Of course he was still smiling! At IUN, he was an active member of the Delta Sigma Theta Sweetheart Court - The Delta Beaus. We will miss you Fred! Much love and peace to your family!
