Our beloved Father, Grandfather, and Husband Bill has been called home.

On January 21, 2020  at 9:30 pm, in Fort Myers, FL William O. Friede collapsed from a sudden heart attack. He was transported by ambulance to the nearest hospital but was unable to recover. William (Bill) and his wife Iris worked for many years building their family business and in 2016 decided that were going to retire and travel full time. For the next full year they toured the country in their newly purchased RV with their motorcycles in tow. They finally decided to call the Fort Myers area home for the winter after an exhaustive search of suitable resorts. Summers were spent in Minnesota to be nearer to friends and family. Bill’s constant willingness to tell a joke, no matter how many times, and his endless generosity will be greatly missed. His loving family would like to invite you to celebrate Bill’s life with them at the following date, time, and location:
