Fred had two business careers — one in sales and sales management in the textile industry with Deering, Milliken, and then Spring Mills; and a second, after moving to Santa Barbara, Calif., in 1960, in real-estate sales with Pitts and Bachmann until he retired in 1996. Fred was a longtime member of La Cumbre Country Club and, after retirement, a volunteer driver for the American Cancer Society and Cancer Center.
Fred’s wife, Jane, predeceased him. He is survived by two children, two grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
