Frederick "Fred" J. Wise

Fred was born in Ravenna, Ohio on April 9, 1944 to parents Stanley and Wilma Wise. He had been a self-employed truck driver associated with Kenmore Construction until retiring due to health reasons. Fred was very adept at building stuff and could fabricate anything out of many different materials. Fred could also fix anything that was broken. Most of all he loved his family and spending time with his grandchildren.

He also leaves his siblings: Dan (Linda) Wise, Mary Beth (Philip) Kreitz, David (Mary) Wise, Ann (Wise) Gillespie, Tom, (Barb) Wise, Jack Wise, and his in-laws: Mary Ann (Santo) Pedone, Cathy (Gary) Magno, Bob Eichler, Margaret (Mike) Pusateri, Theresa (Eichler) Yonker, and Tom Eichler. Many loving nieces and nephews will also cherish his memory.
