22 January 2015 A.D. GYSGT “Old Dutch” Frederick, USMC (ret.) Passes

Old Gunny Dutch would wear his uniform on Memorial and Veterans' Days when our parish generally recognizes Veterans. Old Dutch ushered for our services right up to and including last Sunday. He passed Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning and was found by his son on Thursday, still in bed with covers as if sleeping. His Sovereign called and Old Dutch "stepped off" (our term for beginning a long march, that is, "stepping off"). Just bad news for our little parish.



Clarence Robert “Dutch” Frederick, Jr. age 82 of Hubert, died Thursday, Jan. 22, 2015 at his residence.

Visitation will be 6pm till 8pm Monday evening at Jones Funeral Home, Swansboro.

Survivors include two daughters, Helen Marie Odum of Hubert, Cheryl Denise Baker of Castle Hayne, a stepdaughter, Johnnie A. Foley of Hubert; two sons, “Buzz” Clarence R. Frederick, III of Hubert and David Bruce Frederick of North Carolina; a sister, Inez Allen of Odento, Md.; 11 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren; special friend, Sue Young.
