Arlin Arthur Fraederichs

Arlin Arthur Fraederichs, age 86, of Stockholm, passed away on Thursday, January 18, 2018 at the Pepin Heath and Rehab facility in Pepin, WI surrounded by friends and family where he had lived the last year. Arlin was born February 21, 1931 in his family’s home in Germantown, WI. He was the son of Herbert August (1894-1980) and Gertrude Alvina (née Kissinger) Fraederich (1901-1996) and grew up on the family farm with his older brother Warren (1925-2015) and his younger brother Wayne (b. 1946). Arlin graduated from Germantown public school in 1949 and then served our country in the US Air Force during the Korean War as a radar and antennae technician. After his honorable discharge, he went on to work for Univac on the Univac 1, an early computer, as a technician. After leaving Univac, he owned and operated a small grocery market in Deerfield, MN. He moved on from his grocery store stint and took a position at Xerox as a copier repairman. His job took him from Saint Paul, MN to Bismarck, ND. Arlin returned to Wisconsin to River Falls in 1975 with his son Jim and contracted Guillain-Barre syndrome which afflicted him throughout his life. Arlin moved to Stockholm, WI in 1977 where on a small plot of land he tended an abundant garden and raised chickens, rabbits, geese, ducks, a goat, and a dog named Sassy. Arlin was an old-style cook that aimed to subsist on the food he produced from his Bogus road residence. He was a prolific artist that painted bucolic scenes, created whimsical gourd art, and made barn geometric art. He was a confirmed visual spotter of Pepie, the Lake Pepin lake monster. Arlin was a rare character, a raconteur, a minimalist, a humorist, and a lover of life. He leaves behind his son Jim, his brother Wayne, his step-children Katie, Sean, Meg, Siobhan, Bartholomew, & Abby (d. 2013), and his best friend, Jack Chickey.
