WORCESTER – Herbert J. Fiederer, 80, of Worcester, died on March 7, 2016 in Venice, Florida, peacefully in his sleep next to his loving wife, Patricia (Loves) Fiederer.

He is survived by his wife, Patricia; three children, Herb, Deb and James; his three grandsons, Andrew, Jacob and John Francis, who were his pride and joy. His sisters, Marion (Frank) Goepherich and Alice Griffey; his sisters-in-law, Regina Peterson and Ann Dunne; nephews, Charles, Stevie, Billy, Brian, Frank and nieces, Laurie, Linda, Marion, Belinda, and Laura.

Herbert was born in Westford, NY on July 9, 1935, the son of Frank and Genofiva (Markavits) Fiederer. He graduated from Schenevus Central School.

Herb worked construction and was in the carpenters union. Herb and Patricia owned and operated Latham Homes since 1972. Through the years they developed manufactured housing communities. Herb was a jack-of-all-trades and could fix or build almost anything.

His presence in our lives will be sorely missed but we find comfort in knowing that he will always be watching over us!
