I was a close friend with Fred in grade school years. We would play some softball either at his house or at ours. I remember Fred as a great friend during our grade school years and would make our Sunday afternoon a fun event. We also know his wife Marie as a neighbor and friend.
Our Sympathy to the family.

Fred and his brothers were the core of the neighborhood gang that played together nearly every day. I have many pleasant memories of time together with the Trinklein boys in their barn, in the yard, and riding bikes in races around their house. The times we had on the sleds in a line pulled by the farm tractor were so memorable that it even made the Frankenmuth News. My deepest sympathies to Marie and his family. He will be missed.
