Fred was an active forum member right to the end, and had intentions of making it to the Wisconsin/Illinois gathering. This is sad to hear. I hope that we can make it to the memorial in November.

That is horrible news.
I am terribly sorry for your loss. You and your family have my deepest condolences.
I spoke with Fred a couple of months ago and had sent him a part.
He was a very nice man and he will be missed.
