Frederick Kroegman age 83 of Wayne died Tuesday, May 1, 2012
He was born and raised in Paterson having graduated from Passaic County Technical High School with the Class of 1946. Two weeks after his 18th birthday Fred enlisted in the US Navy. He served on the USS Manchester and the USS WT Powell and was discharged in 1948 as a Ships Serviceman-Seaman and received the WWII Victory Medal.
He met Olive “Scottie” June Kroegman while at a party they both attended with different dates. They fell in love and married on September 12, 1952. The young couple lived together with Fred’s mother in an apartment on North Main Street in Paterson. In 1957 they moved to Wayne where they have lived for fifty years before Scottie’s passing in 2007.
Fred was an electrician with IBEW Union Local 102 of Paterson, now of Parsippany for sixty years.
He was a member for fifty-four years, and worked his way through the ranks to become Chief in 1977, of Pompton Falls Fire Company #3 in Wayne.
Fred was a Mason with the Mountain View Masonic Lodge 154 in Wayne.
He was a handyman who was always “just putzin around the house” working on any and all projects. He could fix just about anything and was a skilled woodworker as well. He enjoyed making furniture and had crafted bookcases, a television stand, and nesting jewelry boxes just to name a few items.
Loving husband of the late Olive “Scottie” (MacLean) Kroegman (2007); loving father of Randy Kroegman and his wife Judith of Haskell, Elisa Fantozzi and her husband Don of Haskell, and Frederick Kroegman of Dyberry, PA; cherished grandfather of Fred and Gary Kroegman, Casey and Samantha Fantozzi; loved great-grandfather of Fred and Christopher Kroegman.
