Fred Gober

Uncle Freddie was totally awesome. From the time I first met him he instantly became my hero. I still have the Chicago Bears jersey he bought me in 1976 and the autographed picture of Walter Peyton that he sent me. The times that I visited Chicago and got to hang out with Uncle Fred were very special and will be remembered forever. He could always make me smile. Nobody could tell a joke better! God Bless Freddie and the rest of the Gobers.

To the Gober family:It was an honor to know and work with Fred for many years.Even though he had a tough exterior,he was a kind man on the inside as he proved it on a daily basis.I will never forget his little family of squirrels that came to the glass and looked for him.Every time I spoke to him he always had a joke or a story about his family that he loved dearly.It was a pleasure meeting his entire family and I wish you all the best...Sincerely,Deputy Sheriff Daniel Wambaja #10997

To the Gober Family - My cousin, Shirley Halper, recognized the name and called me. This is Irma Schulock (Pocius) of the Aunt Min and Ignatz Schulock Family -- (Rose Marie, Robert, Dorothy, Mike and Joe and me). We were sadden to hear of Freddie's death. Dorothy and I recall his fun laugh, much like his Dad's, and all the fond memories of our visits to the apartment home on the North side of Chicago (Hollywood and Norwood). I am hoping to possibly make it to the wake today, but if not,...

Freddie, you were a true mans' man. The Sheriff's Dept was a better place because of you. I will miss you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Cousin Freddie always had something funny to say,with a fun loving smile, when I was a kid and our families got together. I will always have pleasant memories of him.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Gober family at this difficult time.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Fred....or Freddie as we still called him will be missed by many...we have wonderful memories of him especially his great rendition of a donkey in his favorite song...we send heartfelt condolences to all of his family...Freddie we love you....St. Gertrude's class of 1954
