Fred “Fritz” Lohman, 85, of Juliaetta, passed away on Saturday, March 16, 2024.
Fred was born May 3, 1938, to Leo and Edna Lohman in Southwick. He was born into a family with three sisters and four brothers (Jean, Nina, Dick, Ray, Dennis, Monte and Judy). He grew up on his family’s farm near Southwick. He graduated from Kendrick High School and soon after joined the Army National Guard where he worked as a deployed engineer and mechanic. The skills he learned on the farm and in the Army helped him in his chosen careers of logging and farming.
Once discharged Fred met and married Opal Leona Dickinson on Dec. 23, 1962. They spent 40 years together in a loving relationship. You rarely saw one without the other. Together they raised four children, Jamie, Steven, Patty and Kelly. Fred was all about his family and liked to keep them close. While working as a logger, he would bring his family to the camp, so he was able to spend time with them every day. In 1975, he returned to his roots by purchasing a farm. They moved back to the Southwick area and he and Opal farmed until he retired in 2006. He often mentioned this was the favorite time of his life.
In 2006, two years after Opal passed, Fred married Kathy Nye. He moved to Juliaetta and began his retirement. He enjoyed fishing, camping and riding his Razor. You always saw him with his dogs Bear, Teddy and Tuffy. He is going to be missed.
Fred is survived by his sister Jean and brothers Ray and Dennis and his children Jamie, Steven, Patty and Kelly.
A service for Fred will be at 10 a.m. Monday, March 25, at Vassar-Rawls Funeral Home, 920 21st Ave., Lewiston. There will be a coffee hour where everyone is invited to come and share memories of Fred. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Kendrick Volunteer Fire Department in his name.
