Uncle Fred is greatly missed. I admired that he was meticulous and took great pride in everything he did - whether preparing food or stacking wood or finishing a wood project. I am so lucky to have a few items that he made. He was also always helping others and taking care of other people, which set an example for us all. Even during my last visit with Uncle Fred in the hospital, he was concerned about our family and did not even mention his own health or wellbeing.
We were very sad to hear the news of Fred's passing. Our sincere condolences to Barbara and all the family. It was our good fortune to have known Fred and Barbara, two exceedingly generous people, both with their time and financial generosity. The PNW Logging Museum at Powerland Heritage Park in Brooks, OR has named their museum building, "Heller Hall" in honor of their generous support. Some of our fondest memories will be of Fred's exuberance for life and his entertaining logging stories. With our love, Al & Judy Hall
I'm so sorry for your loss. My dad (Tony Kowaleski) talked about "Freddy Heller" all of the time. They were friends and worked together in the woods. Dad thought he was a great guy.
They are together together now, telling logging stories.
