Preceded in death by his parents, Fred (Mary) Fauber Sr. and his son, Fred L. Fauber III. Fred was born October 22, 1954, in Lykens, PA. He grew up in Bridgeport, IL and attended Tilden Tech High School, Class of 1972. Fred was an avid Chicago White Sox and Pittsburg Steelers fan, but loved watching any MLB & NFL game that was on. He was also an avid W.W.E. and NASCAR fan. His humor was "fall out of your seat" funny, and he always made everyone in the room smile with his personality. Fred was always there for people, and would help anyone he could. He was a devoted family man, and loved his girls to no end. Fred was very fond of his church, Our Savior Lutheran Church, and was an active member. He enjoyed his friends he made at church, especially Pastor Schlote, and looked forward to seeing them weekly. Fred held a special place in his heart for animals, especially dogs, beagles in particular. Fred will be dearly missed significantly by all who knew him, but his spirit will live on through all of us.
