I have known Fred since Grammar School. We also went to High School together. Fred was one of a group of friends that grew up together. Fred was at my Bar Mitzvah, my wedding and other events in my life as I was in his life events as good friends usually are. Fred pursued a life's dream and was excellent at what he did. He was a voice impressionist. He had the type of job that was behind the scenes. He was known in his field of expertise. He recently won an award in his field and was inducted into its Hall of Fame.
Fred was good friend. I agree with one of our mutual friends. Fred was an extremely nice person with a wonderful personality and a good sense of humor. I will miss him as I believe all of his friends will.

Fred Chuck Fuller and I were the Windy City Repetoire Company
We did character voices and impressions for commercials. And industrials winning awards like the ones for Allstate Insurance. It was great fun to work with Fred. Sometimes he’d call you up and pretend to be someone else.. He was ver funny. Can’t believe he’s gone.

To The Family of Fred,
I can only send to all of you my heartfelt sympathy and condolences. Fred was my lifetime friend ever since the day we met in our typing class at Von Steuben High School, and he was in front of me. Who would have known that from that one class, this interesting, friendly, intelligent, and unique man was going to be my friend for 56 + years, and how I wish there were going to be more years ahead f us in our friendship. I have never had a friend before who was so versatile, in so many things, i.e.., pianist, magician, man of a thousand voices, voice over artist extradinaire to pinball machines worldwide. I shared in the joy and pride Fred felt earning his place in the Pinball Hall of Fame 2024 and getting his own baseball style card in his honor, which he sent me one of, and I will always treasure having it to remember him by. How wonderful and miraculous
it is that Fred was able to achieve this before his passing.
The world is a sadder place. for our loss, but he will always be remembered for his sense of humor, his talent, his kindness, his passion for life, and the way he would light up a room by entertaining us all. He performed at my wedding with his piano talents, read passages, helped me earn my Master's Degree, tutored me through Algebra in a college course I never would have gotten through without him, was a shoulder to cry on through my heartbreaks, and the best friend anyone could ever hope to find in their lifetime.
Fred's up in the Garden of Eden now playing for the Angels, reuniting with his beloved parents. and entertaining all his friends and family who have passed before him. Wishing you eternal peace., and ending with the way you and I always ended each and every conversation we ever had....."Love and Miss You!"

Fred and I have been friends since grade school. Over the years, we were able to get together, but not as often as we should have. Rest in peace my friend, my brother. You will be remembered by all of the gang forever.

I was struck with utter disbelief with the news of Fred’s passing last week. I was a both a current coworker & also one from many years ago as a sensory panelist. Fred’s good nature, commitment to providing accurate results, & spark of enthusiasm for his depths of voice talent will forever keep him in my memories. Everyone on our sensory panelist was shocked when the reason he didn’t return was disclosed, & we were all very saddened by this unfortunate, untimely outcome. He had shared the achievement of his induction to the Pinball Hall of Fame this past year with great pride & feeling of gratitude for the honor & recognition. Fred will be missed by many - but not forgotten. Thanks for always being a noble gentleman & making us smile.
