James "Jimmy" C. Frederick

August 11, 1949 - December 29, 2014

Frederick, Sr., James "Jimmy" Charles, 65, died peacefully December 29, 2014, at Hospice Woodside. A native of Philadelphia, Jimmy loved life, cooking homemade Italian meals and collecting and selling vintage items at local flea markets. He fought a long-term illness and defied the odds for many years while always amazing his doctors at how well he was doing. A generous, hard working man, he will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Jimmy would want us to celebrate his life rather than mourn his passing. He is survived by Jill, his loving wife of 44 years, sons Jamie and Zane, his mother-in-law Jackie DeLong and many other family members and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, his brother and his sister. Service will be held at Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park at 10:30am on January 2, 2015. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Jude Children’s Hospital
