Fred came to us from the Episcopal Academy in Philadelphia. At Princeton, he majored in history, ate at Charter, and served on the Student Christian Association. He was a member of the Orange Key and the Pre-Med Society. His roommates were Henry Sherk, John Geer, and Bill Service.

Fred earned a medical degree from Penn, then served as an Air Force physician with the rank of major. His medical career was successful and marked by numerous research publications, and he was widely known in Pennsylvania.

Fred died April 23, 2023. He is survived by his children, Frederick III, Lawrence ’81, and Andrew. The class sends its best wishes and appreciation for his life of service to others and to our nation.
