Fredrick Joseph "Fritz" Kasper

Fredrick Kasper Obituary

KASPER Fredrick Joseph "Fritz" Fredrick Joseph "Fritz" Kasper of Toledo, Ohio, died December 25th, 2007, at Hospice of Northwest Ohio of natural causes. He was 82 years old. Fritz was born in Swanton, Ohio on March 13, 1926, to parents, Fredrick and Mildred Kasper; he was the second of 11 children. At 18 he joined the US Navy and served in World War II in the South Pacific. After the war he married Yvonne P. Vernier on September 13, 1947, and enjoyed 55 years of marriage until her passing in February 2003. Fritz's life was embedded within the creative process; professionally as a salon owner and hairdresser, and as a sculptor, painter, and collector. Never with an angry voice he taught with kindness and a gentle manner that brought warmth and understanding. Always funny and by no means boring, he loved conversations and socializing and had a natural curiosity about people. In heaven he joins his beloved wife, Yvonne. He leaves behind those waiting to talk to him again: his only daughter, Ramona Lauber; grandchildren, Christian Lauber, Jared Lauber, Laura Lauber and Barbara Lauber; great-grandchildren, Eleanor Grounds-Lauber and Melana Lauber; brothers, James, Peter, George, and Larry, and sisters, Judy Smith and Janet Federle. His independent and generous spirit will never be forgotten. Fritz continues to live in those that he touched with his loving heart. Memorial services will be held January 24th at 11 a.m. at the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, 4227 Bellevue Rd., Toledo, Ohio 43613.

Dear Ramona,
I am so sorry to learn of the passing of your Dad. I have very fond memories of summer visits to your house and you to ours. Your Mom and Dad were always welcoming and lots of fun. It was especially interesting to see what your Dad had done to your Mom's hair between our visits--it seemed to always be a new color and/or style! I know my parents Albert and Ramona were very fond of your folks, and we spent many enjoyable times together at family gatherings. Fritz will be missed and my sincere condolences are offered to you.

Dear Kasper Famiy, I am so sad to know of the passing of my cousin Fritz. He was everything this loving obituary paints a pictures of him. That is how I knew him. You couldn't help but love him as well as Yvonne and daughter Romona. I am so thankful for visiting him last summer on my rare visit North from Tennessee. Tom Karl Loudon, TN and Fort Myers, FL

To the family of Fritz Kasper,

Although I had not seen Fritz or Yvone for about 40 years, I do remember his visits to Montpelier and occasionally seeing him in Toledo. I have good memories of his visits. His sister, Anna Rose, was my godmother and I enjoyed getting in touch with her in Montpelier a few years ago. Also connected with Larry at a class reunion in Michigan in 2000. You all have my heartfelt sympathy for your loss.
