Obituary of Fred L Wilkens

Fred Louis Wilkens Jr, 79, passed away suddenly on August 18, 2020. Originally from the Bronx, New York, he lived in New Jersey for many years and was planning to move to Florida this year to be close to family. 

Fred graduated from Monsignor Scanlan High School and attended Mount St. Mary’s University in Maryland. He was Catholic in faith and attended St. John The Baptist church in Hamilton, New Jersey. 

He proudly served in the US Army, loved watching Jeopardy, and was an avid sports enthusiast who loved golfing, football, bowling, and skiing. While in New York and New Jersey, he also enjoyed Broadway theatre.

Fred is survived by his loving wife of 40 years, Grace Wilkens; daughter, Nicole McKee (Eric); two grandchildren; sister, Virginia Ward (Frank); one niece, Chrissy (Jim), and nephew, Michael; two brothers-in-law; Robert Schier and Alfred Schier (Laurie).
