Fred died Jan. 30, 2018, in Camarillo, Calif. He was born Feb. 3, 1920, in Niagara Falls, N.Y. He graduated from Princeton with honors in psychology. He enlisted in the Army upon graduation and served stateside for more than two years.

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.
