Fred loved photography, race cars (he even got to drive one), sailing, and traveling the country with his wife in their motor home. What he loved most of all was watching his four grandchildren, Victoria, Amanda, Matthew, and Andrew, grow up. Pop-Pop, as they called him, was always there to show his love and support.

Fred is preceded in death by his parents, George and Catherine Sonntag. A memorial service will be held in NJ at a future date.
