Born to Lena and Joseph Waidelich, Fred lived most of his life in Pinckney, Michigan. He spent 47 years working for JCPenney. He met the love of this life, Joyce, and wed in 1967. In ’95, he and Joyce retired and shared time between Walloon Lake, MI and Naples, FL.
Fred was a passionate man who enjoyed laughing with his friends. In his spare time, he loved his pool, playing pinochle, and spending time with his family. Dad is remembered most for his sense of humor, his storytelling, and his bigger than life laugh. He will be dearly missed.
Fred was extremely loving and proud of his 5 grandchildren: Bayli, Will, Sydni, Caroline, and Camdin. He is survived by his wife Joyce, of Naples, and his two sons, Kirk (Patti), of McKinney, TX, and Dan (Carrie), of Northville, Michigan. Fred is also survived by his sister Joanne Greenwalt, of Birmingham, Michigan.
