Born to Fredrick and Lorraine Laven of Los Angles on March 8, 1923, passed away in the early hours of November 8, 2012 at his Palmdale, California home of 57 years. Fredrick was a veteran of the U.S. Army Air Corps, having served during WWII. Fredrick retired from Northrop corporation in 1983 after 36 years with the company and was Northrop's Plant 42 facility Base Administrator in Palmdale, California at the time of his retirement. Fredrick was a founding member of the St. Stephens of the Valley Lutheran Church in Palmdale and had served and attended there since 1955. Fredrick is survived by his loving Wife Katie of 67 years, five Children and a host of Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren. His physical stature of 6 feet 5 inches had made him known to some as 'Big Fred' and by relations 'Uncle Fred' but he was by any defining criteria, the quintessential 'Family Man'.
