Fred was a dear friend.   He tried hard to help where ever he could.   He did his best.   What more can one ask?   
May his memory be a blessing.

I was honored to be be able to call Fred a friend and a co-author.  Fred led the IETF while the Internet and the IETF were both experiencing explosive growth.  He reliability showed up.  Always.  Wherever showing up meant.  If you needed help with a spec, he showed up.  If ISOC needed help with the fellows program, he showed up.  If a newcomer needed help, he showed up.  And he did so without ego or undue emotion.
 
I will miss him.

 Dear all,
 
 I just hear the sad news today
 
 
 
 Fred, in his multiple roles at the IETF (including IETF chair) and as Cisco Fellow, was a role model for me and a personal mentor.  His Internet contributions are obviously numerous.
 For sure, he will be greatly missed.
