Frederick James Sgambaty ’66 passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 5, 2009, at the age of 82. He was born on June 25, 1927, in Rochester, N.Y. Fred was a member of a large extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and many close friends. Music and playing the clarinet and saxophone were a big part of his life. He enjoyed playing in several bands over the years, and while serving during WWII, he was a member of the Navy Band. He graduated from Clarkson University in 1950 with a Bachelor’s of Mechanical Engineering and earned his MBA from Santa Clara University in 1966. Fred worked at Kodak in Rochester, N.Y., for ten years where he met and married Dorothy, his loving wife of 55 years. In 1960, they moved to California where he began a successful career of 32 years at Lockheed Missiles and Space Company. They had two children Lisa and Jim, and three grandchildren, Aaron, Melissa, and Elijah. He is also survived by his sister, Marge (Sgambaty) Boccacino, her husband Joseph, nine nieces and nephews, all of Rochester. Fred, always the extrovert, was happiest when socializing with friends, neighbors, and anyone to whom he could lend a helping hand. He loved telling a good joke and making people smile. Fred will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
