Ron and I wish to extend our condolences to your family. Fred was a great guy who was fun to be around whether socially or at work. He helped both of us navigate the Board of Alderman and always had a smile on his face. My sympathies especially to Denise who worked with me at City Hall.

Awe, sorry to hear of Fred's passing. I met Fred when I worked for the License Collector for the City of St. Louis. He was such a nice and witty guy. Rest in peace.
