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.
