C.T. established himself as a generous benefactor to numerous causes in Beatrice and Gage County. He served on the school board of Beatrice Schools for seven years as well as the board of the Gage County Historical Society and the boards of the former Lutheran Hospital and Beatrice Community Hospital. C.T. served as co-chairman of the fund-raising committee of the Carnegie building and planning committee in 2001. He was a member of St. John Lutheran Church beginning in 1955 where C.T. served on the church council and was involved in fund raising missions for the church during his lifetime.
After his wife Julia died, C.T. provided the Friends of Homestead National Monument with the funds to bring back the Allis Chalmers Tractor from the last homestead in Alaska to the first Homestead here in Beatrice. He did this in loving memory of his wife of 65 years. C.T. traveled and saw much of the world including England, Scotland and Germany learning about his and Julia's ancestors. His Mediterranean cruise with the Navy whetted his appetite for cruises and C.T. enjoyed a three-month journey by ship through the Panama Canal to Australia and New Zealand and back. He enjoyed a long visit to Bangkok, Thailand when his daughter Christine and family were living there, with side trips to the Bridge on the River Kwai, and to India and the Taj Mahal. In later years, C.T. would recall descriptively the many trips he and Julia had taken.
He is survived by daughters Christine Moran, Lake Geneva, WI, Frances (Gary) Caldwell, St. Peters, Mo., Jane (Charles) Weber, Beatrice, NE, nine grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and numerous loving nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, C.T. was preceded in death by his wife, Julia, daughter Martha Shackelford, grandson Thomas Frerichs Weber, sister Donna Frerichs Hefner, and brother Dewey Frerichs.
A private family burial service will be held at the Wyuka Cemetery in Lincoln with military honors conducted by the Naval Honor Guard.
