We send our deepest sympathies for the loss of Fred.
He was a gifted colleague at the Huffman corporation where we worked as software engineers. I have many fond memories of camping at Merle Fest the golf course and fishing. We have stayed in touch over the years and his passing will be sorely felt.

I have always enjoyed Fred's company. Whether it was working at Huffman, a long weekend of music at Merle-fest or an afternoon of fishing. I will miss his kind and easy soul. Rest in peace good friend.

I worked with Fred for many years at Huffman. He was the programmer on many of the projects I worked on. Fred was truly one of the "good guys" and made work fun. I'll always have good memories of him.
