George D. Froehlich

February 10, 1929 — October 2, 2006

George Froehlich, age 77, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, October 2, 2006, following a brief illness. George was born in Glenbuelah, Wisconsin on February 10, 1929, son of the late William and Lucille (Bergholte) Froehlich. He attended both Lakeland College and the Fond du Lac Business College, and on May 14, 1955 married the former Jacqueline Kunstman at Trinity Lutheran Church in Appleton. For forty years, George was employed as an accountant at Voith Fabrics (also known as Appleton Mills). George enjoyed golf and was a former member of Mid Vallee Golf Club where he was well known for his two holes-in-one! He also enjoyed fishing, playing cards with family and friends, and had been a life-long bowler. He was a Member Emeritus of the National Association of Accountants, the Retired Transportation Society, the Quarter Century Club at Voith, and was the Treasurer of the Town of Grand Chute during the early 1970’s.

Survivors include his wife: Jackie Froehlich of Appleton; two daughters: Pam Froehlich of Appleton and Lori (Steve) Mulhern of Combined Locks; his granddaughters were the apples of his eye: Lexie, Kylie, and Macie. He is also survived by Jackie’s sisters: Janice (Jerry) Rohde of Cloverleaf Lakes and Judy (Allan) Seamans of Appleton. He will also be missed by his dear friends Bud and Shirley Giesbers and Lorraine and Wimpy Drum, as well as many other friends and former co-workers. George was preceded in death by his parents and by a daughter, Patti Dochterman in 1986

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, October 6, 2006 at ALL SAINTS EPISCOPAL CHURCH, at the corner of College Avenue and Drew Street in Appleton, with Fr. Patrick Twomey officiating. Interment will be in Riverside Cemetery.

“We had so many wonderful years together before your health started to fail. You were not only my husband, but my best friend. You will be in my heart forever. Give Patti a hug for me. I hope she doesn’t beat you too badly at cribbage.”

All my love, Jackie.

“By the way, your load of cement will be delivered at 8:00 AM tomorrow!”
