Thomas Stark Fredette On April 29, 2012, Thomas Stark Fredette, 67, left this life unexpectedly to join his wife, Sharon (nee Miller, 1945-2010) for eternity. He was also preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Irma Fredette. He is lovingly survived by one daughter, Renee (David) Kwiat, a sister Charmaine (Henry) Waldschmidt and a brother-in-law William (Karen) Miller. He will be dearly missed by his nieces and nephews, Wendy (Tim) Shearer, Tammy Waldschmidt, Todd Waldschmidt, Jennifer (Scott) Airato, Christopher (Holly) Miller and his great niece, Isabella. There are too many friends to list, but they spanned friendships made in Kindergarten to those he met up until his passing. He was a dynamic individual, with a unique wit and intelligence that captured the attention of everyone he met. He lost the love of his life on March 19, 2010. They are now joined again and celebrated their 46th Wedding Anniversary together again on May 7, 2012. For that, all who knew him should take solace. A celebration of his life will be held at Kurtz Memorial Chapel, 102 E Francis Rd, New Lenox, IL 60451 on June 9, 2012, from 1pm-3pm.
