Fred was the first person I met when working at Merrill Chase Galleries and he was most welcoming and a joy to work with; a very talented art expert, manager and a very kind man.

Fred was a great guy, a kind & gentle man. He was one of the beginner class "angels" when I first started dancing with Chi-Town Squares. Always a smile and a word of encouragement for the new dancers. Saw him a year or two ago.

He will be missed.
