Fred will be missed greatly. He was a loyal and faithful nephew and cousin to our entire family. He seemed more like a big brother who always watched out for us and helped us in every way possible. He had a joyful and positive attitude and was always encouraging to us all, and we loved him for it. Gisela remembers how Fred taught her how to drive her first new car after college, a VW Bug with manual stick shift. He took her to a church parking lot and practiced there. Also Pat and Fred frequently visited Gisela and Bob in Florida which they greatly enjoyed spending times together. We could always count on Fred and he was always ready to help us all on a moment's notice. Susanne remembers how Fred always reached out to be part of our family get togethers with lots laughing, talking, and even singing. He helped her with many life situations such as replacing a roof, outside drain suggestions, solving a basement flood, and helping her select a new car. Also most importantly he would counsel her with spiritual guidance as how to handle certain situations in life in reference to God's Word. We especially remember how Fred and Pat ministered to our Mom and Dad, Ursula and Ewert, over the years. They would visit Mom on a regular basis by giving her flowers, words of encouragement, and singing German songs with her and she would sing along. Our hearts and prayers go out to the family in this time of loss and in the coming days.
