Fairview Tributes
Fairview respectfully presents its Tribute Program to honor and show gratitude to individuals and Family members interred at Fairview. It is our goal to highlight the lives of those who have made special contributions or sacrifices to help others in making our society and world better.
This collection pays tribute to Veterans and Family members who served during times when the United States was involved in major military conflicts. The stories are part of our local history and are fascinating. The program is always seeking submissions from individuals who are able to highlight the involvement of any friend or family member who served during a period of military conflict. The tribute program is ongoing. We will continue to regularly add tributes throughout the year for people interred here.
If you have a tribute you would like to submit for consideration, please contact us at:

Fred Kinch was born in Westfield, New Jersey, into a well-established family. Both his father and grandfather were the primary physicians of the area. (His Father was one of the first people to get a telephone in Westfield and his phone number was “11”). However, Fred opted to pursue an engineering career and graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Class of 1923, with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. His first job was with White Motors where he was an engineer for heavy trucks. He subsequently moved to General Motors where he was involved with advanced mechanics and technology.
