Fred Pfeifer Obituary
December 14, 1945 - January 30, 2020
Fred Pfeifer, beloved husband, father, and grandfather passed away last Thursday at the age of 74. He was born in Modesto, California to Wally and 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.
