Fred was a high school classmate. I'm saddened we had no contact since graduation. Fred was a great guy and a gentleman. I know he will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Condolences to his entire family.

As a colleague having worked with Fred on innumerable patients over the last 22 years, I will truly miss him. He attended to patients with a calm unperturbed demeanor, even during the most disturbing or catastrophic illnesses.

My thoughts and prayers are with Nora and the family

Fred was my best friend in high school. I have great memories of playing tennis with Fred on his dirt court behind their house. Fred taught me most of the tennis I know and we had fun playing together and as a doubles team. I will miss Fred greatly. Condolences to his family.
