This is sad news indeed
I knew Fred although not real well other than my dealings with him at Quadstate and on Anvilfire but he was a nice guy and will be missed.

Fred was a member of IForgeIron and usually present at the ABA conferences. He will be missed.

Fred and his family are on the list.

Not having known Fred personally, I will comment that the net chats and mail I have had with him over the years was uplifting and fun. Eternal Light shine on him Oh Lord.

I only spoke with him a few times at QuadState. He was always really nice to speak with. I am sad to hear the news and will send up some knee mail to hopefully comfort his family and friends.

Always a sad day to lose a smith, especially a young one. God bless his family.
