So sorry for your loss. I met Fred while he was at Brewster with my father, Steve Kuepper. I usually ended up visiting at lunch time when "the guys" were still sitting at the table. We had much to talk about since both Fred and my father worked for KC and I also work there. He was a wonderful friend. My condolences.
