Fred and I both attended Hamilton College after high school, and we remained good friends thereafter. His early passing was, and is, a big loss.
Fred did appear in a Seinfeld episode. He delivers the wedding invitations to George and his fiance. Fred also appeared in a Woody Allen movie, "Sweet and Lowdown".
I was so sorry to learn of Fred's passing. Fred was in most of my classes, beginning with 4th grade. He was truly exceptional in so many ways. Fred stood a little bit taller and surer than the rest of us and he just beamed self confidence and effortless ease from the earliest age. Anyone who knew him knows that incredible winning smile and engaging personality. He was a genuinely nice kid. That in itself would have been enough.
Fred excelled at everything he did. Perennial class leader and class play lead, early on the first hand up with the right answer, later on a first rate intellect. He was impressive. Like many, I admired Fred from afar and yet up close enough to know what a lovely, authentic person he was. He made a lasting impression on me and most others, no doubt. I always wondered what would/had become of Fred. He was, in a sense, our designated standard bearer, someone we might measure ourselves by, as he did raise the bar. He was true north to those of us trying to find our way without a compass or a clue.
Fred was a standout charismatic personality among his peers. No small feat considering our somewhat unremarkable and ordinary trappings. Talented, dynamic and poised, even as a 10 year old he had it together. He had "it". I looked up to him as a fellow traveler throughout our school years. Only wish I had known him better and that this tragic news was not so. From what little I do know, Fred was married to a brilliant writer and was the father of two sons. Their loss is immeasurable compared to ours. Still, we will miss Fred and somehow all these simple school days reminiscences are just not the same without him. Fond memories. Sad loss.
