Fred, a tough, yet sensitive man, always with a smile on his youthful face truly had a love of life.

His favorite pastime was being with family and friends at his lake house on Greenwood Lake, NJ and spent his winters in Lantana, Florida. He had a love of boating, shopping and collecting things, taking drives to upstate New York or to Florida. He loved cars. He enjoyed finance and the stock market and would call his son John for the close of the market daily. He enjoyed reading the Wall Street Journal, eating ice cream, cake or any sweets every evening. He was a master at arguing his point, (regardless of how mad or what happened between you, it was forgotten and you were always important and loved by him)

He loved his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He had a wonderful caretaker Krystyna Wiecek who has been his loving companion since the passing of his wife Jane.

Never to be forgotten.
