I felt that I should add to this. Fred was my mentor and a very good
friend.
When this technology was coming into Pratt & Whitney, he took me under
his wing and taught me everything. He was always coming up with
something new, innovative and challenging. Fred was a smart, caring
man and a lot of fun to work with. He was always there for me and my
family and I will miss very him.
