Frederick Alfonse Pfeifer

Fred graduated from Thomas Downey High School and later met the love of his life, Vivien. They married on February 12, 1971, and they were planning to celebrate their 49th anniversary when he passed. Fred worked for Central Valley Lathing for 45 plus years until retirement. Fred was a longtime 4-H leader in the Empire 4-H club where he led projects including dairy goats and bicycling.

Fred’s greatest passion was his grandchildren. He enjoyed watching them participate in their various activities. His other passions included gardening, fishing, cooking, and watching Jeopardy. He will live in our hearts forever.
