FRED MEUNINCK

Jan. 1, 1943 - Aug. 24, 2011
MISHAWAKA - Fredrick Meuninck Jr. "Freddy," 68, passed away on August 24, 2011, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born on January 1, 1943, in Mishawaka, to the late Fred and Betty (Wachs) Meuninck.

He is survived by his brothers, Craig (Patricia) Meuninck of Mishawaka, Gary (Michelle) Meuninck of Blue Springs MO, and Jon Meuninck of Mishawaka. Freddy also leaves behind a nephew, Jim (Teri) Meuninck of Osceola; niece, Melissa (Troy) Cadotte; nephew, Josh Meuninck of Blue Springs, MO. Fred also leaves three great-nephews whom he loved very much, Aidan Meuninck, Jake Cadotte and Luke Cadotte.

Freddy attended Adams High School and served two years in the U.S. Army, serving in Vietnam as a cook. He spent most of his career as a cook and retired in 2004. Freddy was everyone's friend, and loved his family and friends. He would laugh at most anything, and would put a smile on your face. Freddy was always the first to send out Christmas cards, and never forgot any one's birthday or anniversary; he was so very thoughtful of all his family and friends. Freddy was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church.

Friends may visit with the family Monday, August 29, from 3 to 7 p.m. in the Hahn Funeral Home, 505 W. 8th Street, Mishawaka. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Joseph Catholic Church on Tuesday, August 30, at 10:00 a.m., with Rev. Terry Fisher officiating. Burial will follow at Fairview Cemetery, Mishawaka.

Fred's family sends a very special thank you to his close friend Mary and his extended family of caregivers, Diane and Dee, whom he loved so much. Freddy was blessed to have the love and support of the personnel at Dungavin. The family wishes to thank all of them for the support they gave to Fred and his family. We don't know what we would have done without them. God bless them!
