   This is such sad news. Fred was a wonderful person, he always
had time to share and always offered helpful insights. He was
a role model for me at Cisco and an inspiration to get involved
in the IETF. He was truly inspiring. He will live on in our
memories and in the technology that he helped build that we
continue to work on today.

   RIP.

   Dan.
