Fredric Gottlieb Obituary

Fredric "Fred" E. Gottlieb, 76, formerly of Waco, went to be with the Lord Sunday, Aug. 22, 2010, at a nursing home in Brownwood, Texas. Memorial services will be 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 4, at Highland Baptist Church, on the corner of 30th and Maple in Waco. Pastor Barry Camp will officiate the service. Fred was born Oct. 10, 1933, in Waco, Texas, to the late Robert E. Gottlieb and Annie Alyne Whately Gottlieb. He graduated from Waco High and went on to play baseball and basketball for the Baylor Bears at Baylor University. He graduated from Baylor University in 1955. Fred served as an educator and an administrator of schools for a total of 36 years. He worked in the school systems of Livingston, Hull-Daisettia, San Angelo, Coleman, Ft. Stockton, Teague, and White Oak. He ended his 36 years in education as Director of the RioBrazos Opportunity Learning Center in 2001. Following his long career in education, Fred traveled with the Texas Baptist Men, participating in camp building. He was a long-standing active member of Highland Baptist Church and participated in several mission trips to Jordan. In his "spare time", he enjoyed helping others by building and/or making renovations/repairs on homes, workshops and even the Rio Brazos Center where he worked. Fred will be remembered for his love of the Lord, his servant's heart, his dedicated work ethic and as a stout Baylor Bear fan. Fred was preceded in death by his father; mother; and two sisters, Ferne and Bobbie. He is survived by his wife of 10 years, Beverly. He is also survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Lisa and Larry Glasson of Brownwood; his son and daughter-in-law, Mark and Amber Gottlieb of Plano; two step-daughters, Cindy Weber and husband, Leroy, of La Grange, and Stacey Daniel and husband, Tim, of Iowa Park. Fred enjoyed a relationship with his four grandchildren; four step-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.

My thoughts are with the family of a devoted man who taught the young men of Livingston High School how to live by his example. I am blessed to have been a student at Livingston High during his tenure and graduated with the class of '59. Please accept my condolences at his passing.

Dear Beverly,
We were so sorry to learn ot Fred's death.Please accept our wishes of deepest sympathy and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
I tried to call you about a year ago and learned that the number I had used in the past was no longer in service. I don't even know Darlene's last name so have lost all contact with Merle's family. She was such a dear friend and I would like to keep in touch. If it is convenient. please call me sometime at 772-4182.

We won't be able to attend the service but we will have you in our prayers,

Love,
Darlene and Fred Dougherty

Dear Lisa & Mark: We are so sorry to hear about Uncle Bud, but know in our hearts that he along with Mother, Aunt Bobbie, Mamaw, Dabba and Darrell are all celebrating in Heaven. What a joyful reunion that must be!! We all have such fond and dear memories of all of us growing up together with so much love and laughter. I will always remember the funny recordings of Uncle Bud @ Christmas and no one could sing Christmas songs with more humor than he!! He was so helpful to me, both emotionally and physically by working on my home when my husband, Phillip, died. I know he will be missed by all. April and I look forward to seeing you on Saturday. Know you both are in our prayers and hearts. Much love to all.
