Fred had a wonderful caregiver, Kristina Spicer the last year of his life. Our family would like to thank her for all her patience, kindness, and giving to both our mother and father.
Frederick was a member of the Holy Family Catholic Church and the Lewis Pacific Swiss Society where he served as a board member for several years. He also kept the grounds for the Holy Family Catholic Church and the Swiss Society. He served in the Air force until he came home to take care of his sick father. He worked for McCorkle’s brothers, and logged for himself for a short period in his younger years. He finally worked and retired from Weyerhaeuser. In Fred’s later years, he had a lawn mower repair company, called F and C Small Engine Repair.
Fred peacefully went home to his lord and savior and to rejoin with the love of his life, Cecil on the ascension of our Lord, May 12, 2012.

The rosary will begin at 10:30 a.m. with the funeral services following at 11 a.m. Family and friends are invited to attend a gathering at the Lewis Pacific Swiss Hall immediately after the service.
