I was so sorry to learn today of Fred's death. A tribute to him appeared on my Facebook page via Waltham Military Veterans tributes. Fred was a member of the Waltham High School Class of 1962. From myself and all his fellow classmates, may I extend our sincerest and deepest sympathy to his family. He was a great guy and will be remembered with affection at our next class reunion.
