Eugene Freiburger Obituary

Freiburger, Eugene M. "Geno" Of Franklin, formerly of Wauwatosa and Santa Monica, CA. Left a large impression on us in his passing Monday, August 6, 2012, at the age of 52. Much loved son of Mary and the late Earl. Dear brother of Tom. Further survived by special cousins, the Erlandson family, his old pals, Rich Clifford, Bob Schmidt, other relatives and friends. Gene Freiburger was a 1978 graduate of Wauwatosa West High School and a 1984 graduate of UW-Oshkosh. After college, he spent most of his career in Los Angeles working as a property master on television and movie sets, such as "Just Shoot Me" and "Iron Man." His wit and humor will be certainly missed by those who knew him. Visitation Saturday, August 11, from 10:00 AM until time of Memorial Service at 12:00 noon, at the Funeral Home.

Geno was an old friend of mine from UW Oshkosh. Many fun memories of him, too many to name here. He was a one of a kind young man with a great gift for comedy and satire when we were in school. Rest in peace old friend!

Mrs Freiburger- No one can ever imagine the loss of a child and I am truly sorry to hear of

Geno's passing. Please know I care and will be in touch with you for a lunch date. I have

been thinking of you these past couple of days and praying for you to have strength.



” Whatever they grow up to be, they are still our children, and the one most important of all the things we can give to them is unconditional love. Not a love that depends on anything at all except that they are our children.”

Love,
