Robert Henry Fricke, 84, passed away Friday, July 3, 2020, at the IOOF Home in Mason City.

Per his wishes, his body has been cremated and Robert’s family will hold a celebration of life at a later date.

Arrangements were handled by Hogan-Bremer-Moore Colonial Chapel, Mason City.

Robert was born March 19, 1936, the son of Harry and Pearl (Wilkenson) Fricke, of Guttenberg. After graduation he went into the Air Force. On July 17, 1956, Robert married Shirleen Friedlein, his high school sweetheart. In 1961 the couple welcomed a set of twins into their loving family. Robert and his family later settled in Northwood, where he would work as a grain elevator manager for 18 years. After retirement from the grain elevator, Robert and Shirleen evolved their love of working with upholstery into a business.

Robert loved doing anything outdoors and could be found hunting, fishing, watching birds, and spending time with family. Anything Robert said went. Robert loved his family endlessly, always bringing light into their lives.

“There are some who bring a light so great to the world, that even after they have gone … the light remains.” – Unknown

Those left to cherish memories of Robert are his wife of 63 years, Shirleen; daughter, Marcia (Wayne) Hearn, of Humble, Texas; grandchildren, Dustin Fricke, Josh Borchardt, Eli Fricke, and Hannah Hearn; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Robert was preceded in death by his son, Michael Fricke; granddaughter, Nena Fricke; his parents; three sisters, Iva Smock, Janet Hemmen, and Carol Bohlen.
