Frederic J. Chadwick

Chadwick, Frederic J. (Bud) MIDDLETON-Frederic J. (Bud) Chadwick passed away peacefully on April 12, 2015, at Agrace Hospice and Palliative Care Center. He was born on Aug. 26, 1928, in Westby, Wis. and graduated from Westby High School in 1947. Fred was a star football player and graduated late due to a broken leg suffered while scoring the winning touchdown. On April 2, 1949, he married Anna Marie Drake and raised five children. Also in 1949, Fred began a 41 year career at Ray-O-Vac on Winnebago Street in Madison. He retired from Ray-O-Vac in 1990, as a Mix Room Supervisor. Fred or Bud as he was known to many family and friends and his wife Ann were members of the Loyal Order of Moose Club until it closed in the late 1990’s. They enjoyed traveling in the motor home with his sisters and brother-in-law. “On the road again” was a favorite song when it was time to hit the road and see the country. Fred and Ann also loved “going out to boogie” as well as playing cards and bingo with the many friends they made throughout their lives. Fred enjoyed fishing, golf, and bowling and was an avid Badgers and Packers fan. His sense of humor, quick wit and musical talents which came through in his singing, whistling and harmonica playing will never leave our memories. Fred is survived by his daughters, Katherine Speth and Kim (Don) Ossmann both of Middleton; his son, Steven of Wyocena; daughter-in-law, Cindy Chadwick; granddaughters, Erica, Heather, Lyndsay and Shawna; grandson, Robert; great-grandsons, Kyle and Jordan; great-granddaughter, Jade; and a great-great-granddaughter, Fiona; as well as many other family and friends.
