This is FAST FRED's son, I know that he spent lots of time here and I thought some would want to know that he passed away Saturday night, February 4, 2017. He had health issues the last year but he was doing good recently and we had a great week with him.

This is the post we put on Facebook:

Last night my dad, Dr. Fred Graham, passed away - we had a good week with him, my sister and I each took him to a local high school basketball game, he helped take care of sick kids (his grandkids) earlier in the week, he rode with my boys and I to my middle school basketball games, and he finished it off at a concert with my sister and her husband. He collapsed during intermission and from everything I have gathered he passed away very quickly. I miss him dearly but I am content with the fact that he went doing something that he loved. Thank you to all the friends and family that have contacted us with their condolences and prayers.

Thank you

FAST FRED - Class of '65 signing off!

Don't know what to say right now, other than I'm so sorry for your loss. Your dad was a legend on here and sounds like even more of one in real life.

Very sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed reading his movie reviews and appreciated his good humor and friendliness. Pretty sure this entire board was a fan of his.

I truly hope that I can find as much enjoyment from movies and tv shows when I am his age. His reviews were the most enjoyable on this board.

He will be missed.
