Frederick Bochert Obituary
Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Fred lived most of his life in the Akron-Kent area. He served in the U.S. Army during World War II and in the Korean Conflict. He retired in 1979 from the Akron Beacon Journal where he supervised in the Composing Department. Fred was a 32nd Degree Mason, Shriner and a member of the Tadmor Temple Valley of Akron.
Fred loved spending time with his family and his winters in Venice, Florida. He met many friends along the way and was a wealth of knowledge to his children and grandchildren. He taught all of us many life lessons along with his Fredisms. He will be missed, but never forgotten.
He was preceded in death by his first wife, Cecillee, sister, Sara Runyon, and grandson, John Bochert. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Caroline; daughters, Meladee (Jerry) Dickman and Valerie (Craig) Robinson; sons, Rick (Rose) Bochert and Mark (Karen) Bochert; 12 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

I have more war stories and Fredisms than most. I will always remember this fine dad, as he was a large part of my life through my 20's and still today. He will be missed.
