Fred’s greatest Joy in life was baking. His grandparents were from Germany and so he was a fourth generation German Baker. He with the family owned and operated Sobery Bakery on Illinois avenue in downtown Carbondale for over 30 years. He made and delivered bakery goods to local business in Southern Illinois. He continued his passion for baking thru out his life going all over the country teaching and consulting fellow bakers. Fred loved life and tried to live every day to the fullest. He is a Carbondale Icon that will be dearly missed by all.
