My sincere condolences to Fred's Family and Friends. I'm very sorry for you loss. As a co-worker of Fred for 28 years, I first met him in Cleveland on a business trip 28 years ago and in more recent years, worked with him in Warren NJ. Fred was always a pleasure to work with, friendly, positive, helpful and just a good person! He will be greatly missed. May God bless his family and friends in this time of sorrow, while also remembering he is now in a much better place!

Cathy Miller left a message on September 14, 2021:
In all my 55 years, no one has ever called me Katie. No one, that is, until Fred who started calling me this about 14 years ago from out the blue. It was his term of endearment for me…it was special. Fred always had a smile on his face and a kind word to go along with that. He took an interest in you. And…if he got to know your family, he always asked about them. I’m going to miss him coming by just to say hello or to ask when can we do lunch — even though i never do. Fred will forever be in my heart and i will never forget what he meant to mine and to me. May the family find comfort in knowing just how special Fred was and how much he meant to so many. RIP Fredo!! Love Katie!!
