Deeply sadden when I heard of Fred’s passing. The last time we spoke was the day before the pandemic started. I will cherish the memories of our friendship. R.I.P. Fred.
I loved working with Fred through ASID !
He was an inspiration to all of us younger designers and a great mentor, too! I have really missed seeing Fred through the years.
My deepest sympathy to Fred’s family.
