I’m so sorry to hear of Fred’s untimely passing , we were thick as thieves for 25 years back in the early BBL days , then with Arcadis . Tons of success professionally , great times personally . A kind, gentle soul who loved life and knew how to have fun .
My fondest memory of Fred was when he and I had to go on a business trip to visit a very difficult client in Chicago around 2002 . We spoke before the trip and agreed to have some fun the day before our meeting , and ended up going to Comiskey Park to catch the Chicago Cubs afternoon game ( after many beers and laughs in a nearby beer garden) . Did great in our meeting the next morning and won a project , despite a very minor hangover ....... my first and only Cubs game. Will never forget it .
I love Fred like a bother and will miss him greatly .... great memories .
