Paul V. “Lunk” Fremer, 76, of Game School Road Brockway, PA; died on Wednesday, June 17, 2020 at Penn Highlands Brookville.
He was born in Brockway on December 4, 1943. He was the son of the late Michael and Helen Strishock Fremer.
He is survived by Kathy Alburg whom he married on May 5, 1973.
Never really being a man to retire, Lunk started cutting timber in 1961 and in 1975 he built and began running the sawmill, Fremer Lumber. In 1992 he and Kathy established Fremer Molding and is now owned and operated by their children.
His other passion and hobby in life was farming and raising beef cows. In 1987 he bought the woodland farm and completely refurbished both the house and the barn, that is their current home. He then added the work horses to the stables and took great pride in giving the community wagon rides.
He was a member at St. Tobias Church where he currently served on the Parish Council. He was also president of the Brockway Sportsmen’s Club for the last 40 years, and a member of the Brockway Area Kaimanns.
Paul was a U.S. Army Vietnam Veteran. He was an avid hunter and enjoyed riding his UTV, farming, but most of all loved spending time with his family.
In addition to his wife he is also survived by a son William “Billy” Fremer; a daughter Rebecca (James) Fremer McCarthy; a son Michael (Christiana) Fremer; and a son Andrew (Kaitlin) Fremer all of Brockway; three sisters: Martha (Robert “Bo Hunk”) Preston of Brockway; Evelyn (Rodney) Hicks of California; Tina (Tom) Decker of Brockway; three brothers: Carl “Chuck” (Georgia) Fremer; Daniel “Boone” (Marie) Fremer and George “Heffer” (Peggy) Fremer all of Brockway. He is also survived by four grandchildren: Blakely, Lennox, Quinn and Theodore Paul Fremer.
