I am still in shock over Fred’s passing. Fred was such a good man, a proud law enforcement officer, proud husband and family man and he was so kind to everyone he came in contact with.

My in-laws grew up with Fred’s parents back in Yatesboro, PA. Surprising as it maybe, quite a few Yatesboro residents moved to Michigan and remained friends. Fred Sr, Louise and most of the Posavetz family attended our wedding. I ran into Fred for the first time in ages when my daughter’s Brownie troop toured the CTPD (twenty years ago). Fred was our tour guide so we were able to “catch up” on our families. It was always a pleasant conversation running into Fred around town. Proudly coming from a long line of police officers myself, Fred knew how much my family supports law enforcement.

My favorite memory of Fred is the lip sync video he made with his fellow officers. That video truly captured Fred’s personality. I must admit, I have watched that video a few times since hearing of Fred’s passing.

Our deepest condolences to Fred’s family, friends, colleagues and residents.

My heart is sadden as we are unable to attend your memorial service and must say our goodbyes to you. I went to high school with Fred, we attended Wayne state around the same time. I became his daughter, Robyn’s godmother , he came to our wedding. We went to concerts together like hall and oats, foreigner and The Beach Boys We played softball and I even empire one of your games. We built homes in sterling hgts and sent our kids to the same schools. As friends often do over the years we loss touch with each other but we often followed your career accomplishments via newspapers, tv and friends, we were so proud of you. We last saw you 10 years ago and we’re able to catch up on family and friends. Rest In Peace old friend and know that we feel safer that you are watching over us in heaven as you did here.on earth. We will remember you as a fine athlete, good friend and a great father Our condolences to all his family and friends he will be missed.

Uncle Fred,
You are the most caring person I have ever met. I will never forget the times we all spent up north at my dads cottage as well as sitting by your side during the boys football or basketball games. You were their biggest fan! I am so thankful that you were able to meet my little family. I will miss seeing you when we came into town or talking to you whenever you were together with my dad. Please keep looking over Aunt Marsha, your kids and my dad. God knows how much they miss and need you. I will try my best to always be there for them no matter where I am.

I love you so much and always will,
Shelby Smith

To the Posavetz Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Fred’s passing. I just don’t have the words. Fred was such a nice man, character and role model for us all! His love of family, his department and community knew no bounds. I always enjoyed the times I’d run into him around town, and be able to catch up for a few, Fred always made you feel like a friend. At times, when he would run into my children, he would make them feel like a million bucks! During the Open Houses at the department, Fred would always call out “those Cabe kids” and spend some time engaging with them, at their level. That was Fred! A man among men, and we’re all better off for knowing him! My sincerest condolences!

I will always remember Chief Posavetz as a fine officer, and caring person. I remember Him when he hired on CTPD and at times worked with him at crime scene's when he was our K9 officer.
Fred wanted to be involved, and when bad things were happening on the streets he was there. He could always be counted on. Rest in peace Fred

Fred loved his children tremendously. For several years, we shared the gym at CTPD, In the early mornings. I was always impressed with his Daily wakeup calls to his kids. Everyday, he never missed those conversations. At the end of each call was I LOVE YOU. He was a committed parent and Police officer.

My father worked with Fred Posavetz in the Clinton Township Police Department until he retired in 1989. He always had very good things to say about him. When my Father passed away in 2017 he made sure that my father was recognized with full honors. He was also very supportive of our family. I express my deepest sympathies to his family. He was a great man and a great Police Officer. He is gone way too soon. Rest in Peace.
