Fredrick's obituary

Fred grew up in Morganville NJ, and graduated Marlboro High School in the class of 1974. He attended Rutgers University Livingston Campus.

After moving to Brooklyn NY in the late 70's, Fred worked in publishing before joining the New York City MTA. At the time of his death he was a Tower Operator and was responsible for the safe passage and proper routing of trains over tracks and switches, and related work.

Fred loved Brooklyn NY, the NY Mets, collecting stamps, maps and coins. He was the self-publishing editor-in-chief of several popular "Zines" which included: "Brooklyn!",  "Watch The Closing Doors", and "Anachronisms".

Fred was preceded in death by his parents, Florence and Solomon Argoff of Delray Beach FL, and is survived by his brother Leslie of Flagstaff AZ, and sister Patti Argoff of Lewisburg PA.
