Frederick "Fred" Donald Huntley Jr.

Frederick Donald “Fred” Huntley. Jr. was born on June 7, 1933 in Detroit, Michigan. He was the son of Frederick Donald Huntley, Sr. and Carolyn (Woodward) Huntley. Fred enlisted into the United States Army during the Korean War. He was proud to serve his country and be honorably discharged.

Fred married the love of his life, the former Barbara (Jackson) Huntley. He was the proud father of three children; Frederick III, Lori, and Leon. To provide for his family, Fred worked for many years for Babcock Dairy making cottage cheese, worked as a Line Supervisor in 1993 for Mazda at their Flat Rock Assembly plant and worked on the assembly line at the Jeep plant in Toledo, Ohio.

He was a member of the White Tower Breakfast Club, where every Saturday morning Fred and his buddies would gather for breakfast. He had a huge sweet tooth and loved eating chocolate and other sugary treats, with some of his favorites being Russell Stover chocolates, Werther’s candy and Jolly Ranchers hard candy. When he wanted a salty snack any flavor of Pringles was his favorite.

Fred was the ultimate practical joker who also had an amazing ability of whistling and could whistle to any song being played. He enjoyed roller skating which helped him stay active. When he found time to relax he would watch some of his favorite western movies like Gunsmoke and Bonanza. He also enjoyed divulging in some of his favorite foods like spaghetti, pizza and seafood.

Fred was a stand up type of guy who could also be depending on to help anyone out, but above all he loved spending time with his family and grandchildren.
