    I was most unfortunate in that I didn't know Mr.Lopatka for more than a few months before he passed on. However, in that time I saw a warm, gentle soul. I saw love between a husband and wife that is rare. I saw the compassion in others that only comes from loving someone who elicits that feeling in others. I only regret that I didn't know him longer. I believe he is at peace now.

    I met Fred in 1968 and started working with him as I started to pursue architecture . I was again working with him when I became registered. I guess three times is a charm. I traveled to Europe with Fred and Evelyn and they were the greatest.
    Fred, you will truly be missed.

    I've lost a very dear friend and beloved business partner of many years. Fred was always so optimistic, especially when business was off. We had many awesome years together and many great trips with our wives. God Bless you Fred!
