Dang!
Fred was a great guy.
Like Bill, I had first met him on the ebay boards 20+ years ago and we became friends, emailing each other often, sometimes speaking on the phone. I forget which year now but we had bought and split a case of Topps Heritage, and I would sometimes buy older cards from him that I thought my son would get a kick out of and have him send directly to my son in college.
Once on my way back from a business car trip to Boston he met me up with me at a restaurant near his home, where I had my dinner before the rest of my trip home and he had a few beers. It was great to meet him in person and it was a fun way to delay the remainder of my trip to avoid rush hour going through NYC.
