Fred was a bomb technician for the US Air Force during the Korean War and was Honorably Discharged. Fred worked for Bank of America for 35 years where he was a pioneer in data processing, working with some of the first computers. He always loved to play poker, and he often won. He was a true champion and gracious in defeat. He was a huge sports fan, particulary faithful to the Giants and 49ers. He'd like to say, "You have to root for the Home team!"
