Jim was our brother. Jim had eight siblings, two sisters and six brothers that loved him dearly. Jim was predeceased by Harry Schmidt and his adoring sister, Alice DeFazio. Jim’s surviving siblings are Thomas (Kathy), Richard (Karen), Theresa (William), Bill (Sean), Donald, (Patricia), and Joseph (Lisa). He is also survived by a host of nieces, nephews, and many friends. We will miss him dearly but are at peace knowing he is no longer in pain. We love you, Fred!!! Go Packers!
