Gil Betz wrote a sympathy message

“Vivian, Condolences. I met you at a party at Mario’s in the late 80s. Fred was my frat brother and my neophyte brother (initiated together.) See the attached from my initiation paddle. Fred is #5. Fred will be sorely missed. A.E.K.Δ.B, Fred. He would know what that means. I’ll see him in the hereafter and tell him Hi from Mario. Unfortunately, can’t make it to Fred’s celebration of life. Based on my time with him in the frat and Mario’s stories, it should truly be a celebration of life.”
