Hi everyone,

Thank you all for the love and support. Fred wasn't only my dad; he was my best friend. Like most of you, this past month has felt surreal. Although life feels a lot less fun without Fred to add his much-needed levity, I am thankful that he was in my life for as long as he was. His humor and positive outlook lives on inside me and everyone else he impacted.

I am still planning on writing a more in-depth obituary for my dad, but I have to wait until my mind isn't focused on all of the not-so-fun the logistical stuff.

Since Fred explicitly said that he did not want a funeral, I've created this page for us to come together and celebrate the incredible force of nature known as Fred.

Please share as many memories, jokes, and photos as you are comfortable. Fred made such a positive impact on so many people; it's only fitting that we all share these wonderful memories with each other.

Thanks,
Jordan aka "Son of Derf"
