I met Fred at my first Optimist Club meeting almost 10 years ago. He struck me as a warm, generous and humorous person. Over the years, through tumultuous times with the club, Fred’s strength and unwavering moral compass, helped us fight some pretty formidable foes. At every battle that seemed would be our last, Fred was the first to arrive and the most stoic in the face of challenge – we couldn’t have made it without him. His commitment to the club and to the Scouts he loved was boundless. It was an honor know him. He will be sorely missed.
