We are very sorry to report that Frederick J. Watts, our extraordinary Executive Director, passed away on December 23rd. We will miss Fred for his warmth, compassion and kindness, in addition to his steadfast dedication and commitment to PAL, its children, families and communities.
Under his leadership, PAL increased its engagement in the communities that we serve and strengthened connections with New York City law enforcement. Above all, he will be remembered by the PAL children whose lives he touched and changed forever.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff and PAL children and teens, we offer our deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to Fred’s family.
