Frederick Alan Long
Frederick Alan Long, “Papaw”, 69, of Kittanning, peacefully found his way to
heaven on Sunday, February 28, 2021 from a very short battle of Stage IV small
cell lung cancer that metastasized to his brain. He passed away at home with
his family by his side.
Fred was born on June 5, 1951 to Paul and Dolly (Hartman) Long. He married the
love of his life, Dee (Dunmire) Long, and they would have been married 49 years
this June.
He was a 1969 graduate of Worthington-West Franklin High School, Worthington,
PA.
For ten years, Fred worked at the Freeport Brick Company. Fred also enjoyed
working at the Allegheny Power Plant. After retiring from the power plant, Fred
worked at CWM for a few years.
Fred served three years in the Army as part of the United States Army Security
Agency in Germany during the Vietnam era.
Fred enjoyed spending time in the kitchen with his best friend and beloved wife
Dee, helping her bake and cook. He especially enjoyed baking Christmas cookies
every year with Dee.
He also enjoyed hunting, fishing, riding the side by side with his children and
grandchildren, and spending time with his neighbor and special friend, Fran.
Fred loved history and taking trips to Gettysburg with his family.
Most of all, Fred loved his family and dedicated his life to making memories
with them. He will be remembered by his famous saying “guess what's comin’
down the highway!” Fred truly loved to love and bring happiness to others.
Fred was a family man, he was known by many as a kind and selfless man that
would give the shirt off of his back to anyone in need. He took pride in his
grandchildren and taught them how to fish, hunt, read, swim, drive, cook (but
not as good as their mamaw), and to always love and be kind to others.
Fred is survived by his wife, Dee; daughter, Carrie; son, Adam; grandchildren,
Hannah, Taylor (Nick), Tanner, Caden, Kenzie, Drake, and Zane; brothers, Larry,
of Kittanning and Paul Jr., of Worthington; and sisters, Lori Kuhn, of Ohio,
Kathy Neupert, of Worthington, and Debbie Stouffer, of Walkchalk.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Dolly; sister, Sandy Damore;
and brothers, Lenny and Eugene. He will be forever remembered and missed by
many.
Following Fred’s wishes, there will not be any services.
Arrangements are entrusted to the Snyder-Crissman Funeral Home in Kittanning,
PA. |
