Fred P. Heydrick's Obituary
Obituary
Fred P. Heydrick, 81, of Frederick, passed away at home on August 19, surrounded by family, after a long illness. Born to Winnifred ("Peggy") and Stanley Heydrick in Clearfield, PA on Jan. 30, 1934, Fred was a loving husband, father and grandfather, and good friend to many, including his Clearfield, PA grade school chums, Charlie Fuhrer and Jack Wilt. Fred genuinely enjoyed being around people of all ages, and animals of all kinds. He was quick to laugh, and particularly enjoyed terrible puns and silly jokes. With a doctorate in microbiology, Fred was first a researcher for the U.S. Army Biological Laboratories at Fort Detrick, and then a Health Science Administrator at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, NIH. After retiring from the government, he served as the President and Director of Scientific Evaluation of BioReview, Inc., the consultancy he founded, until he retired again in 2012. He was a longtime member of the Fredericktowne Rotary, a loyal supporter of the Orioles, and a proud graduate of Juniata College in Pennsylvania, for which he served on the board in later years. Fred is survived by his wife Margaret, his children Max, Stanley, Sharon, David and Douglas and their spouses, and his grandchildren Alex, Scott, Jay, Kevin, Christopher, Megan and Pierce. His first wife Barbara Labbe Heydrick and grandson Matthew pre-deceased him. Visitation will take place on Tuesday, August 25th from 1 - 3 and 6 - 8 PM at the Elks Lodge #684, located at 289 Willowdale Drive in Frederick. The funeral service will be held privately. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hospice of Frederick County, P.O. Box 1799, Frederick, MD 21702.
