Frederick "Fred" John Swintz, age 88, of Hot Springs Village, went to his Heavenly home on November 2, 2022.

He was born on April 8, 1934 in South Bend, IN to Dr. George R. Swintz and Mary Louise Swintz. After graduating in 1957 Fred entered the Army as a 2nd Lieutenant in Armor and went to Ft Knox, KY. After discharge as a 1st Lieutenant in Armor in 1964, he was employed by Texaco, Inc., Chicago. After being introduced to Sharon Douglass also of South Bend, IN, his bachelor days happily drew to an end as they were married in the Episcopal Church in South Bend, IN, on August 12, 1967. His 33 year career with Texaco moved them from Chicago, IL to Houston, TX to Richmond, VA then back to Houston where they resided until his retirement.

He is survived by his wife, of 55 years, Sharon Swintz, of Hot Springs Village, AR; his nephews, George B. Swintz (Betty), of Breckenridge, CO and Robert E. Swintz, of Boise, ID; three nieces, Lauren, Karla and Allison; and many friends.
