I met Mr. Tuch on a dealer trade to his Buick dealership in the late 70's. He always treated everyone as a friend. He will be missed...what a great guy.

Dear Flo and the entire family: You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your husband and father. Fred was a great gentleman and I enjoyed the many rounds of golf we played together as well as the trips we took. In spite of my concern with a used car dealer keeping the golf score, he was always very ethical. I will miss him greatly. Dick Sefton

To the Tuch family: Our sincere condolences. I have vivid memories of Mr. Tuch , especially all through college at IBC.
I remember him as a mountain of a man. Quite intimidating. A larger than life presence to be sure. I am sure he will be truly missed by all who have had the good fortune of knowing him.
