Obituary

Frederick Julius Doerrhoefer, affectionately known as Fred, age 83, of Clermont, passed away Thursday, October 5, 2017 at the Mike Conley Hospice House. He was born April 11, 1934 in Maplewood, NJ son of Lillian Rose Dietze & Frederick Ludwig Doerrhoefer. Fred is survived by his wife of 62 years, Betty (Vickery) Doerrhoefer, his three children, Deborah (Debbie) Lee Breuninger, Denise Lynn Wallace and David James Doerrhoefer. His three grandchildren, Kyle King and Ashley King, and Paul Michael Breuninger, as well as his two great grandchildren, Claire and Liam King.

Fred joined the United States Air Force in May 1954, serving 4 years. After training, he was assigned to Lowry Air Force Base, Colorado where he lived with his wife, Betty and baby daughter Debbie

Fred's love of electronics led him to employment with Pratt & Whitney in Jupiter, Florida, where he worked as a metrologist until his retirement in 1993, at which time they moved to Clermont, Florida. Even after his retirement, he was constantly getting phone calls from co-workers for guidance on how to do many of the procedures that he did. His son, David, also took an interest in electronics, which they would do together at home.
Fred was a member of Christ the King Lutheran Church in Jupiter, Florida, where he was active with the youth group. With his electronic background, he installed the sound system in the Church.

He enjoyed going on camping trips with his family to Helen Georgia, where they hiked the Appalachian trail. Fred was also an enthusiastic Disney fan. Great family memories were made at the parks.

The Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be held at 2:30 PM on Wednesday, October 11, 2017 at First United Methodist Church Clermont. Reverend Dawn Carter will officiate.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial contribution in his name to Alzheimer's Research.
