Gartner, Fred J. (2 December 1942 – 15 February 2017)

Fred J. Gartner was born Dec. 2, 1942, and passed away Feb. 15, 2017. Fred and his brother, Ronnie, grew up near Neillsville with their mother, Mary White, and Uncle Joe Kammerer. They lived with their Uncle Joe on River Road in the Town of Pine Valley.

He had been living with his son, Eden, in Minneapolis, MN, in his later years due to an illness.

Fred attended country grade school at Silver Crest School in Pine Valley, and Neillsville High School, graduating with the class of 1960. Those who knew him well remember he had a very interesting life.

An informal meeting of Fred’s friends will gather in his memory Thursday, March 2, 2017, at 2 p.m. behind the old Legion Hall on Hewett Street, along O’Neill Creek where his ashes will be spread.
