So sad to lose Uncle Fred. My family spent many Easters with the Himmerichs. Fred was always the calm in the midst of the chaos of 10 cousins — all just litte kids at the time. I especially remember church services and how he would gather all the children around for an uplifting, kid-friendly sermon. There were always joyful hyms and cheeful messages that, in turn, filled me with a sense of happiness. Clearly he was a beacon of light to many in this world, and I’m grateful to have had him as my Uncle. A kind and gentle soul who will be missed!
