Frederick P. Ballerini
On June 17th, 2023, Dr. Frederick Ballerini, 78, of Jackson, Wisconsin, was called to his eternal home while celebrating Father's Day surrounded by his loving family and friends.
Fred was very well-accomplished and known for his kindness, compassion, and loving nature. He was also strong-willed and determined. He was known to many as Dr. Fred or, as his license plate on his Harley trike read, "PEGLEG". He was an inspiration to everyone that met, knew, and loved him.
Fred spent most of his life practicing dentistry. He was a graduate of Marquette University School of Dentistry and had his own practice, eventually leveraging his extensive knowledge and experience to shift to a career as a Senior Dental Consultant for the last 10+ years. He was passionate about his career and about helping others; it showed in his strong work ethic, perseverance, and perfectionism.
Fred was preceded in death by his father Ferdinando and his mother Gloria Jean.
Fred was a devoted husband to Lynda. He was a loving father to his son Bill (Sue Herdzina) Ballerini, and a cherished stepfather to Josh (Amanda) Lahr, Amanda (Justin) Montello, and Aaron (Nicole Hart) Lahr. He was a proud grandpa - "Papa" and "Nonno" - to Bennett, Lennox, Carmine, Aria, Addy, Easton, and Summer. He was the older brother to Arlene Esgate and Gloria Jean (Mark) Prince. He is further survived by many relatives, coworkers, and dear friends. He will be deeply missed.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, July 1st, 2023, at Schmidt & Bartelt Funeral Home in Menomonee Falls from 11am until 1pm, when the Memorial Service will begin. A Celebration of Fred's Life will take place at the Sawmill Inn of Richfield after the Memorial Service ends.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Fred's name can be sent to Shriners Hospital for Children (www.lovetotherescue.org). Your kind support will be greatly appreciated.
