William "Bill" James Fredendall of South Elgin, Ill., passed away on Jan.
30, 2014, following complications from surgery. He was 76. Loved ones will
remember him for the way he lived his life - with gusto, generosity and humor.
He leaves behind his loving wife, Fran; sister, Janet Freeland; niece, Deana
Freeland; aunt Ela Schultz; cousins Roxana Schultz, Lynne Weinberger and Jeff
Eckdhal; stepdaughters Linda Freeman, Kelly Scott and Suzann Kelly; friend Clair
O'Neill and her daughters, Colleen O'Neill and Molly O'Neill-Schroeer, who were
like daughters to Bill; and many more dear friends. Bill was a devoted son to
his mother, Anita, who preceded him in death. A proud Chicagoan and American,
Bill served in the U.S. Marine Corps, piloting an A-4 Skyhawk fighter in the
1960s. He made a career of flying, spending 33 years as a pilot with Delta Air
Lines, rising to the rank of captain. Bill was an avid outdoorsman. He was
happiest surrounded by nature, and supported many environmental and animal
welfare causes. He made friends easily. He was witty, outrageous, sweet and
mischievous. Bill Fredendall was a man with a big personality and an equally big
love of life. He will be deeply missed. Services are pending; details will be
available at www.countrysidefuneralhomes.com
