Fred grew up in Wamego, Kansas. He graduated from Wamego High School, then earned a bachelor's degree in math from the University of Kansas, where he was a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. He was an enthusiastic Jayhawk fan, every year following his KU basketball team deep into the NCAA tournament, and proudly sported his KU gear.
Professionally, Fred enjoyed over 40 years with IBM as a systems engineer and retail systems consultant to major clients internationally and in the United States.
Fred was an active member of the First Congregational Church (UCC) of Webster Groves for over 50 years. He served in many capacities, including church moderator.
Fred is survived by his wife BJ; son Kendall (Elizabeth); daughter Kris (Greg); bonus children Kirk (Lisa) and Heidi Rain; his seven grandchildren, Lucas, Kelsea, Helen, Grace, Sarah, Brendan and Brooke; and many cousins.
A celebration of Fred's life will be held at a future date. Please consider memorial donations to Alzheimer's Research Foundation or Season's Hospice.
