Born on the south side of Chicago, Fred served in the South Pacific during WW2 aboard the USS LCI 990. He then attended the American Academy of Art on the G.I. bill and became a successful commercial artist for D’Arcy. He started his own studio at the age of 50 and taught evening classes at the American Academy of Art. He enjoyed volunteering at the Newberry Library. He was involved in the church communities of Stewart Ridge Congregational and later attended the United Methodist Church of Geneva IL where he designed banners and helped on committees.

Fred's wisdom and kind, thoughtful advice was cherished by many. He was passionate about sharing his love of books and art, encouraging creativity in others, young and old. His cheerful approach to life and calm strength will support us always. We hope to live by his example.
