Frederick Inzer Obituary

Feb. 2, 1935 – Mar. 26, 2006. Gene passed on Sunday March 26, 2006. He is survived by Donna (Steers), his wife of 48 years; his son, Lonnie and his wife, Linda (Huber); grandchildren: Aubrey and Alex; his daughter, Heidi Benson and her husband, Tim; and grandson Austin. He is also survived by his sister, Delilah Patitucci, of N.J. He was preceded in death by his father William Arthur; mother, Julia Pearl (Frazee); sister, Peggy Greenbank; and brothers: Duane, Bob and Frank. Gene was born at home in Colorado Springs and attended Lowell and Buena Vista grade schools, West Junior High and Colorado Springs High. He always considered himself a Westsider. At age 17 in 1952 he joined the Navy and became a Seabee. He served during the Korean War and was stationed in the Philippines and Kwajelien Island. After his service he worked as a printer in Colorado Springs. In 1961 Gene became a Colorado Springs Firefighter, and he was promoted to Dispatcher, Lieutenant and Captain. He was one of the founders of the Colorado Springs Fire Protective Association. After 26 years he retired in 1986. His career as a firefighter was proud times for him as well as the pride in seeing his son also become a Colorado Springs Firefighter. He loved his grandchildren and cherished his dogs. Gene's family thanks all the friends who have expressed their love for him and sympathy for them. The family will have a private internment. An open house gathering will be at Giuseppe's Depot Restaurant from 5 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday March 31, 2006. In lieu of flowers please contribute a donation in Gene's name to the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region.
