He was manager of the Western Accounting Office in Chicago before he was transferred to Cincinnati. Fred ended his career as the Manager of Personnel Administration and Field Sales Offices. In the 28 years of his retirement he enjoyed dining out with his dear wife, Barb, spending time with family and friends, traveling, playing golf and sitting in the warm sunshine during 20 winters in Sarasota, and spoiling his grandchildren.
