Frank was born in Milititsch, Yugoslavia and immigrated to Canada in 1950. Guided by a strong work ethic, he worked on the railroad, in commercial painting and as a landlord for over 50 years to provide for his family. Ever the historian and lover of education, he left generous education funds for his 7 grandchildren. Frank’s love for his family included his nieces, Rosie and Maddie; the Iwanowitsch family in Germany and the many Fitterers. His gentle soul, quiet, reflective and curious nature endeared him to all. We love you Dad, Opa, Frank.

Last week I read of the sadness of the passing of Frank Fiederer. My heart goes out to Pauline, Monica, Angela, Lisa and families. I’m sorry for your loss. It is a loss for all who knew Frank.
I remember the day I met his family when I was five years old. My memories of Frank are:
Circus; Swingset; being pushed up the hill in a wheelbarrow with all the neighbourhood kids;
bringing us tea in his backyard when I was at his house for visits; telling me stories about his history.
It really does take a village to raise a child, and my life was enriched because I knew the Fiederer family. Frank was a very gentle, dedicated family man and will be missed.
Love, Yvonne Ritmeester
