Publish in a newspaper
Fred graduated from Bishop McDevitt High School in Harrisburg in 1966. He attended Allegheny College in Meadville, PA where he met many lifelong friends (and lived with many of them at the house known as "The Zoo"). He earned his law degree and formed many great friendships at Ohio Northern University School of Law, where he graduated in 1975.
Fred married the love of his life DeEtta Riordan Antoun on April 19, 1969, and they had two children, Vanessa and Freddy.
A prominent attorney and advocate for many years, Fred was respected and beloved in the community he served. He was also loved by his children's friends who spent much time at the Antoun house, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and other family and friends.
Fred enjoyed bird watching, building computers and researching new technology, hiking, traveling the world, and following the Philadelphia sports teams.
He will be remembered for his sense of humor, his kind and caring nature, and through the many stories he shared with friends and family.
Fred was father to Vanessa Antoun and Frederic Antoun III (Jamie); grandfather to Emily Antoun; and stepfather to Avery, Hugh and Haley Wissinger, the children of his beloved companion Meg Wissinger. He is also survived by his siblings Gregory Antoun (Christie), Laureace McCarthy (Ed), Scott Antoun (Carole), Jonathan Antoun (MaryLeigh), and Lisa Mulholland.
He was preceded in death by his wife, DeEtta Antoun; his parents; and his brothers, Lawrence Antoun and Mark Antoun.
A celebration of life will be held on Friday, July 28, 2023 at Liquid Art Brewing Company (140 N 3rd St, Chambersburg, PA 17201) from 12:00-3:00pm. Please join us for this informal memorial gathering to remember Dad and share stories about his life.

I made homemade apple sauce yesterday for the first time in a long time. Though it may be a silly memory, I remember picking apples with fred as a kid and it was always a tradition we´d try to keep up with (if the deer didn´t get to the apples before we did). 2 years later and I have moments like this every day. I´ll miss him for a long time.

Fred and I ran for Student Council at Bishop McDevitt and also took a crazy trip to New York in his Saab in High School. Very sorry to hear of his passing.

Fred was the older brother of my best friend Larry growing up. I'll always remember how well I was accepted as the son by proxy of the entire family. Better people it's impossible to find. Rest in the grace of the Lord.

He was a sponsor as I started out after law school and generous with advice. I will always remember the wonderful Fourth of July picnics. He will be missed.
