Frederick L. Switzer
Of Arlington Heights
Frederick Leroy
Switzer was born on
October 13, 1927 in
Ellis, KS to John
and Katherine (nee
Mai) Switzer. He
passed away on May
27, 2009 in
Arlington Heights.
Our dad loved life
and if you asked him
what mattered most
to him he would tell
you his family. If
we were happy he was
happy. He loved
gardening, coin
collecting,
crossword puzzles
and telling a good
joke to hear you
laugh. He also loved
feeding whatever
critter came calling
in his back yard. He
will be greatly
missed and loved
more than words can
ever express. To be
half the man and
individual our
father was would be
an honor and a
privilege.
Fred is survived by
his daughters, Karyn
L. Anderson of
Kalamazoo, MI and
Ilene K. (Robert)
Mraz of Island Lake;
and her
grandchildren, Derek
and Erin Anderson
and Tara and Megan
Mraz.
He was preceded in
death by his wife,
Marilyn K. Switzer
(nee Laney) and his
sister, Mary Kaye
Sentz.
