He attended Hall Wesleyan Country School in rural Delphos and also Delphos School in Delphos through his freshman year. It was then that he decided he was smarter than his teachers and decided to quit.

Freddie met Flora Mae Henning in 1954, they were married July 17, 1955. To this union two children were born, Cecil August Hoesli and Nancy Mae Hoesli.

Freddie, or Fred, as most knew him, worked in a variety of different jobs. From helping build the grain elevators in Delphos, to driving a truck, to working as a custodian. He loved to keep active. Harvest was his favorite.

Fred, as most people knew him, worked in a variety of different positions. He helped Clyde Parkers and George Guard, building both elevators in Delphos. He also helped his dad run the COOP station in Delphos, worked at the grain elevator in Lincoln, NE, and helped his father cut wheat in South Dakota. Fred helped Harold Liby at the Eastside Station in Glasco, worked for Chalmer & Burton on elevators in Hutchinson, drove a truck for Toad Sparks and Plush Mills, Glasco; farmed for Max Martin; built El Dorado Campers, Minneapolis; Webber Implement, Beloit; as a custodian at Glasco High School, Nicol Home, and Minneapolis Grade and High Schools.

Fred enjoyed life, he especially loved his grandkids; Justin Gibbs and Rachel Wright, also his great grandson Ryan Ray. He loved watching Justin, Rachel, and Ryan in school activities. He was blessed to be able to watch Justin play college football during his trips to Highland Community College and the University of Charleston in Charleston, WV. He loved spending time with family. Some of his favorite trips were to Alaska with his brother, Jim Hoesli and wife Betty; camping, fishing, boating, wood working, and a good game of marbles. He made many trips to the Kansas State Fair and the Colby Jamboree. He loved the outdoors and harvest time.

He never knew a stranger, no matter where He was. Mom and I always use to think the reason for stopping at the rest area was for him to meet and visit with new people. He never forgot a face.

Frances enjoyed life, especially meeting her girlfriends for coffee, going shopping, cooking for her family and friends, reading, and doing crossword puzzles. Her life was given to service especially in the last 5 years as she lovingly cared for her husband both at home and at Riverview Estates. She was known to put others needs before herself and received pleasure from giving to ministries and those in need. As a survivor of many health problems including 4 types of cancers, 77 years of asthma and heart weakness ,she was a woman of strength and would be the first to tell you it came from her faith in God, who was her Best Friend.
