Frederick George Wilcox

Frederick George Wilcox was born April 26, 1925 to Elisabeth Schmuck Wilcox and Frederick Lorne Wilcox. Fred spent his childhood in Tulsa, where he was born, before serving a tour of duty in the Philippines. After the war, Fred achieved a Petroleum Engineering Degree at the University of Tulsa and worked in the profession throughout his successful career. He enjoyed a long healthy retirement in Oklahoma City, with his wife of 41 years, Weona.
