Fred Krakow
“Freddie Fish”
Loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather and big-son-of-a-gun went to his final rest on April 17th, 2009 at 11:00 PM. Born a fighter on a stifling night July 20th, 1934 in Chicago, IL. to Fannie and Abe Krakow.
He was lovingly raised by his Auntie Annie and carried on the legacy of the well known Chicago Krakow Fish Selling Family of Maxwell Street. He married Helen Dworzynski on February 9th, 1969 in Chicago. He loved watching old movies in his hobby shop and had a taste for a good corned beef sandwich. In his healthier years he liked to travel and enjoyed dancing. He was the kindest tough guy anyone ever knew. He will be missed.
He is survived by his wife of 40 years Helen; daughters Laurie (Bob) Krakow-Kaufman, Amy (Jeff) Richardson, Gabrielle Krakow; grandchildren Annie (9) and Philip (6) Kaufman, Joseph (7) and John Matthew (5) Richardson; brother Billy; sister-in-law Helen; and rottweiler Molly.
