Fred was born in Hackensack, grew up in Dumont, and moved to Ho-Ho-Kus just before graduating from high school.
Fred was a passionate man and had many hobbies and interests over his life time. Fred was a licensed pilot and enjoyed flying for pleasure.

He was known for being a great shot, very enthusiastic, and always willing to give a helping hand.
Fred was a prominent builder and contractor throughout NJ and CO, building many beautiful single-family homes. He also spent time working at the Department of Design and Construction in New York City.
