Fred,

Happy 40th Birthday! I just wanted to take moment to share the impact you made in my life. There are not many people you meet as you are coming into your own professionally that take the time to reach out and ensure you are feeling supported, feeling secure in your role, and having fun all at the same time. I not only experienced this with you but I observed how you interacted and gave this support to everyone you worked with. You took the time to make an impact, to show those around you that they mattered to you, that their success mattered, and that if they weren't having fun while they worked toward their goals in life they were doing it wrong. Thank you for having the upmost confidence in an up and coming leader, being an example of an exceptional leader does and how they should create and motivate. You are an exceptional and creative leader that I still look up to, to this day! Thank you, Fred!

Sincerely, 
Meghan Kelly

Little did I know at the time how very important you would be to us. Oh, those days were so fun. You guys playing crazy weird games out front running up and down the street. You’d make the Franwood Riots chasing, tackling, kicking, dog...

Fred, In my eyes, you are the greatest human being on the face of the earth. You are my greatest and truest friend. You have a gift of helping others have the confidence to be brave, be themselves, laugh and see the beauty in everything around them. The lens in which you view life is contagious and makes others want to be around you all the time.  I learn from you everyday and you are the smartest person I know. The kids will often ask me questions about science, history, physics, math... that I don't know the answer to. I don't know why they keep asking me when most of the time I don't have answers for them. But I always say, "Dad would probably know, ask him" and almost every time, you know the answer. Or on the rare occasion you don't, you invite the kids to learn with you. You're such a dynamic, interesting person who seems to know so much. After all, you are very superior.  And your very superior brain has been able to financially support a family of ...
