LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Fred Limerick, 87, of Kelseyville passed away on May 31, 2022, at Providence Queen of the Valley Medical Center in Napa after losing his battle with heart issues.

Fred was born in Brooklyn, New York to parents Frederick and Catherine in 1934.

Fred worked as a certified exterminator for over 45 years. During that time, Fred met his wife Catherine Landis in Pennsylvania, and they were together for over 30 years before her passing.

Fred was a devoted husband and father to many fur babies, cats and dogs alike. He dedicated his time and energy to caring for and loving his animals.

Fred was exceedingly kind, lovable and very opinionated. He was an incredible friend and while we were not blood relatives, we were the very best kind of family, the kind that chooses each other. He was the father I never had and the only grandfather my son ever knew.

Fred will live on in our hearts and memories forever. His last words to me were, “This old boy’s going back to Brooklyn.”

Fred your new journey is beginning as you return to the loving arms of your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I know that you are now at peace and more importantly that you are no longer in pain. Thank you for everything. We love you very much!

Resting place is All Faiths Cemetery, 67-29 Metropolitan Ave., Middle Village, New York.
