He was deeply loved and respected by the parish community and fellow priests that served along side of him. St. Veronica Parish honored Fr.

Joe will be remembered for his energy, administrative skill, dynamic homilies and beaming smile. He made a point to spend time with his family at Plum Lake, Lake Arrowhead, Boulder CO, Corpus Christi, TX, and Charleston, SC. Although he never owned a computer or cell phone, somehow he always remained connected to friends and family. Fr. Joe was an avid sports fan, serving as a scout for the Milwaukee Braves, was a dedicated fan of the Green Bay Packers and was a long-time Marquette Basketball season ticket holder. He bowled for years on the St. Veronica's team. The Frederick family would also like to thank those who helped care for Fr. Joe, including Dr. James Mazzula and Dr. Donald Schmidt and their staffs. Their skillful coordination ensured Fr. Joe's quality of life. The Family is especially grateful to Linda and Don Poff and Fr. Joe's other dedicated caregivers Carla, Darlene and Susan.
