Fred was a legend in the pen community and his beloved wife was a devoted part of his career. Fred's pen shop was the oldest pen shop in the country started in 1922, his shop was literally a museum. Our condolences to his family, friends and customers works-wide. I was honored to have met him back around 1993 when visiting the Parker Janesville factory sponsored by the PCA.

Here is link to a brief slide show of his shop and Fred with his signature famous mustache.
