Frederick James Hills
Fred credits his parents for his love for travel and adventure. He purchased a six-month round-trip ticket to Australia in 1974. Instead, he circled the globe with stops in New Zealand, Australia, the South Pacific Islands, South Asia, India, Egypt, Greece, and the UK; he returned home two years later. Later in life, until his recent illness, he visited southern Africa, NE Canada, and Greenland.
While home in Minocqua, as well as Green Valley, he enjoyed playing bridge and visiting with friends and neighbors. His neighbors loved to stop and chat. His furry friends knew he always had a biscuit just for them. He exhibited quirky moments with oversized teddy bears named “Fitzsimmons” and “Felicity” who would pop up on Facebook, or the chair next to Fred. This always brought a smile to visitors.
A memorial service at the United Methodist Church of the Pines, 415 Chippewa Street, Minocqua, is planned for July 20, at 11 a.m., with visitation prior to the service planned at 10 a.m. Following the service, a luncheon will be served. The memorial service will be streamed on Facebook and YouTube.
