Kenneth C. Freschauf, 68

Pepperidge Farm distributor

Tuesday, July 28th, 2020 11:12 AM

Kenneth C. Freschauf, 68, more affectionately known as Dad, Uncle Kenny, The Bread Man and Grandpa Ken was graciously cared for by Seasons Hospice at MacNeal Hospital where he died from complications of end stage Parkinson's disease at the age of 69 on July 22, 2020. He was a Brookfield resident who formerly lived in Berwyn.

Born Sept. 14, 1951 to Raymond Freschauf and Gabrielle (nee Smith) Freschauf, Mr. Freschauf was a fiercely independent Pepperidge Farm bread distributor for over 30 years. He will be remembered fondly for his gentle nature, witty sense of humor, his kindness to stray animals -- all of whom he named Fred -- and his quest for a good bargain on just about anything.

Mr. Freschauf will be deeply missed by family and friends, including his surviving siblings, Joy, Robert and Gilman; his daughter, Karen; his former wife, Nancy; his daughter-in-law, Lora; his nieces, Julie, Karolyn (her husband John) and Jennifer; his great-nieces and nephews, Sarah, Trevor, Steven and Anna; his longtime companion Karen and her family, Paul, Ray, Sarah, Emerson and Elliott among so many others.

A celebration of life will be held in his honor at a later date. At the request of his family, in lieu of flowers please consider making a donation to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research at michaeljfox.org.

DuPage Cremations Ltd. and Memorial Chapel, West Chicago, handled arrangements.

My husband was diagnosed of Parkinsons disease 2 years ago, when he was 49. He had a stooped posture, tremors, right arm does not move and also a pulsating feeling in his body. He was placed on Senemet for 8 months and then Siferol was introduced and replaced the Senemet, during this time span he was also diagnosed with dementia. He started having hallucinations, lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medication I took him off the Siferol (with the doctor's knowledge) and started him on PD natural herbal formula we ordered from AKANNI HERBAL CENTRE, his symptoms totally declined over a 3 weeks use of the AKANNI HERBAL Parkinsons disease natural herbal formula. He is now almost 51 and doing very well, the disease is totally reversed!� (Visit www. akanniherbalcentre .com)
