Fritz W. Frieders

December 21, 1933 — June 9, 2004

Loving father, grandfather, uncle and friend died peacefully in his home on Wednesday, June 9, 2004 surrounded by his family following a six-month battle with cancer. He was born on December 21, 1933 to Roy and Florence (Jansen)Schuler and was the first of three children. He is preceded in death by his parents, brother, Tim and adoptive father, Eddie Frieders.

After proudly serving his country as a marine in the Korean War he returned to Appleton to marry Marge Allen and they were blessed with seven children. Fritz was an avid outdoorsman who also enjoyed playing softball, tennis, horseshoes and golf. He was a lifelong fan of the Packers and Cubs. Fritz had a zest for life and a twinkle in his eye that was evident to all. His positive outlook could be seen in his sense of humor and the way he lived life to the fullest. Fritz never met a stranger because everyone was a friend.

He is survived by his children: Marty (Jane) Frieders, Mike Frieders, Joe Frieders, Beth (Craig) Woolley, Jane Frieders, Jim (Laurie) Frieders and Tom (Terri) Frieders; grandchildren: Ashley, Nathan, Maggie, Grace, Alicia, Claire, Hailey and Thomas; a sister, Peg (Bob) Sauer, numerous nieces and nephews and special friend, Joan Frederickson.
