Fredric J Holub

Fred is survived by his husband Geoffrey McNally; son Jonathan Holub, daughter-in-law Tamara and grandson Kevin of West Hills, California; son Ari Holub of Los Angeles; brother Paul Holub and sister-in-law Janice of Suwanee, Georgia; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.

Fred grew up in Newark, NJ where he attended Weequahic High School. He graduated from the New Jersey Institute of Technology with a degree in Industrial Engineering. He had a distinguished career as a quality control manager at Johnson & Johnson. Following his retirement, he earned a Masters in Counseling from Rider University. Fred moved from Hopewell, New Jersey to New York City in 1999 and then to San Francisco in 2005.

Fred was a friend to all. He was easy going, level headed, and a great listener. He had exceptional artistic talent which was apparent in his pottery and the greeting cards he created. Over the years, Fred volunteered at The Lighthouse, Project Open Hand, Gay Men’s Health Crisis, SAGE, and other organizations. He will be missed by his many friends in San Francisco, New York, New Jersey and other areas.

A private memorial service will be held to celebrate and honor Fred’s life. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the American Lung Association.
