Fred and I started in the business on the same day at Peach Bottom. He was always making everyone feel good about the time we were spending together even though we worked lots of hours. I lost contact with him and his "nuclear partner" over the years, but every now and then I meet someone that knew him. He was one of the good guys that all of us want to be. He will be missed.
