Went to be with the lord on October 5, 2015. He was preceded in death by his wife Anna Lee Rosenthal. Fred was born July 20, 1927 in Philadelphia, PA. to Natalie (Conrad) and Edmund Rosenthal. He obtained a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Drexel University. While at Drexel, he co-oped, working at a shipyard at the end of WWII, then at Westinghouse Electric where he then was employed for 38 years. While with Westinghouse he was one of the early engineer pioneers designing jet engines, a project manager and later a manufacturing manager for nuclear power plant equipment.
