Frederick Roy Aschert

Fred, you will be missed my friend. We cherished every moment we spent with you and applaud your love of life! Rest in Peace!

Although I never met Fred, his daughter, Sandi, told me many stories about him. He was a wonderful dad and husband in addition to his many adventures and talents. His family will greatly miss him.

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

Fred was an original. Knowing him was something one does not forget.

Fred started climbing late in life & he still had a great time. Some of the best climb I ever did was with Fred. He was very driven which help anyone who was with him. Will never forget you old man. See you soon.

This made me cry in awe and in honor of a man who lived life so well, who the epitome of the life we'd love to live - a life full of adventure, hard work, gusto, class, integrity, humor and the love of family and friends. He was a lucky man too, to be able to live his older years with Andrea and Rich, to be loved and included and cared for. It is no doubt why he was with us all a good long time. You are missed Fred!

We feel lucky to have known Fred. They don't make 'em like that anymore. An original in so many ways. Always eager to here about our adventures , though they didn't come close to his feats. His dry humor and frequent chuckles Always made us smile. What a great life he lived. He was so lucky to have Rich and Andrea to make his last years they envy of many seniors. There is a big hole in your lives now. You will learn how to fill it with the adventure his spirit brings to you. We will miss Fred!

Fred always kept me laughing. I thought we had Wisconsin in common until he cracked me up with how much he hated it. Great sense of humor and I miss him when I go to Rich and Andrea's.

Fred was the second climber I met out at Garden of the Gods in 1980, we became instant friends for 36 years with the benefit of gaining his son Richard as a lifelong friend. I can still see Fred driving up to the North Gateway parking area in his VW bus around 3-3:30 every weekday. Fred was the real deal, honest, generous and straight to the point. Fred was also a great friend to my wife Laurel and to the rest of my family. A great man who lived a very full life. he will be missed by many. Be...
