Fred passed away over a week ago. He and I were discussing the formation of a creative services agency or consortium during the last two months. We were both excited about it. He had a beautiful portfolio and was at once affable, sensitive to others, brilliant , gentle in demeanor, aggressively creative, and loved living.
Complications that arose months after a valve surgery contributed heavily to his demise. It was sudden and unexpected, as he was relatively young (mid-50's), and a fitness and martial arts buff.
His dear wife let me know the devastating news over week ago. I was unable to attend his funeral, as it had already transpired.
I'm trying to put a benefit auction together for his family, so, if you have any bright ideas, let me know. I'll be putting design/illustration/photo services on the block, as part of a group of creatives in the area.
The post title is a link to his website, where you may download a copy of his portfolio.
Fred, I'll miss you brother. We'll see each other soon enough, but I can wait. Hope you understand. ;)
