Mr. Fredrick P. Berthel Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Fredrick P. Berthel Loving Husband, Father, and Grandfather NASHUA, NH—Fredrick P. Berthel passed away unexpectedly at his home on Sunday, January 19, 2020. He was the beloved husband of Margaret “Meg” Lemire-Berthel for the past 31 years. Fred was born in Lawrence on July 30, 1933, a son of the late Ruth (Berthel) Demers. He was a graduate of the Lawrence School System. Fred served his country honorably in the U.S. Air Force from 1952-1956, serving primarily in Germany. Fred was employed for over 20 years as a Case Manager for Elder Services of Merrimack Valley. His love for the kids of Lawrence and sports was unparalleled. Fred was a coach for over 20 years with the Tower Hill Little League Baseball Program and then the Lawrence Rec. Adult Street Hockey Program. Fred was a quiet gentle man, who was always young at heart and spirit. He enjoyed doing things for others just to see someone smile and expected no thanks in return. What a great father, husband, grandfather, and "friend". The world was certainly a better place with him in it. Hopefully, everyone he touched in his life held on to a little bit of his kindness and giving and can keep his spirit alive for years to come. Fred was the father of the late Scott Berthel.
