Frederick Kober

Founder

in loving memory 1938-2018

IN LOVING MEMORY (1938 – 2018) Fred Kober founded The Christopher Companies in 1974, with operations in both Northern Virginia and the Tidewater area of Virginia. Through the years, he has provided the vision for the firm’s development. Fred’s insight and experience now provide the basis for The Christopher Companies’ ongoing endeavors. As an invaluable link to the past and a tie to the future, Fred, as as the former Chairman of the Board, consulted on all aspects of management of The Christopher Companies. Fred believed in giving back to the communities where he built through charitable works, most notably the Northern Virginia Building Industry Association’s “Builder’s House 2001” project in 1994, which raised over half a million dollars for the Ronald McDonald House, as well as for other local charities. He was a tremendous leader and mentor and we will always remember his gentle spirit and unwavering dedication to the company that he built.
