Well, it’s been a week now since Freddie Mac’s Chief Financial Officer, David Kellermann, was found dead in the basement of his home by his wife early in the morning on April 22. David was hanging by a piece of exercise equipment, an apparent suicide.

Kellermann was 41 years old and over the last 16 years he had worked his way up from financial analyst and auditor to the postion of Chief Financial Officer.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to David’s family, friends and co-workers.

And our thoughts and prayers also go out to everyone who is deeply concerned, as was David, about the wave of mortgage foreclosures in this country.
