Fred Albert Wallmuth went home to be with the Lord on June 21, 2014, surrounded by his family and friends. He was born to Lillian and Fred Wallmuth on August 23, 1921. He began welding prior to enlisting in the United States Army. He was a T-5 corporal with the 1281st Engineers and proudly served in World War II in Germany, France, and the Philippines. He married his first wife Praxeda in 1946. They had a daughter, Barbara, and were married 29 years before Praxeda passed in 1974. He began work at General Motors in 1956 building automobiles. He worked on cars out of the home he shared with his second wife, Florence, who he married December 19, 1976. He never stopped having a love for automobiles. He retired from GM in 1985 and began pursuing a second love of traveling and dancing. He and Florence would travel all across the states in their RV attending various Polka conventions with friends. He and Florence were both a regular fixture at their favorite restaurant, Eagle Inn. Fred was a quiet, strong man who loved his family. He was a great father, grandfather, and friend to many people. He was known by his unique laugh, which brought a smile to many.
