Fredrick L. Buchanan, 82, formerly of Jamestown, PA passed away Friday, February 23, 2018 in Orange Village Care Center, Masury, OH.
Born October 12, 1935 in Greenville, PA to Samuel M. and Kathryn E. Buchanan, Fred lived a comfortable, easy-going, happy life in a beautiful, quiet Pennsylvania countryside surrounded by farms, trees, fields, and trickling streams.
Fred enjoyed many peaceful years of fresh air, family gatherings, country road bike rides visiting neighbors, and evening snacks of buttermilk and crackers. He spent his last few years residing independently at Riverview Manor in Sharon, PA, where he enjoyed a pleasant social life.
He is survived by his caregiving, loving brother and sister-in-law David and Bonnie Buchanan of Warren, OH; nephew Brian (and Shelli) Buchanan and their children, great niece Bethany Buchanan and great nephew Ryan Buchanan all of Mercer, PA: and niece Wendy (and Victor) Dean and their daughters great nieces Rebecca Dean and Sarah Dean all of Cincinnati, OH.
Fred was preceded in death by his parents. We will always remember Fred's dinnertime prayer recital at family gatherings: “We thank you for the morning light, for rest and shelter of the night, for health and food, and love and friends, and everything Thy goodness sends.”
Fred is now with our lord and savior Jesus Christ I will always remember Freddy riding his bike past our farm and saying hi Bill Fred would help us bail hay in the summer and we had many good times together.
Had many good visits with Fred while living at RV Manor…he loved talking with my grandchildren and telling us what he had done at “work” that day…he will be missed

Both my brother and I would always take time to visit with Fred as we went into Riverview Manor to visit with our mom. ‘Ole Freddy Baby’, as we affectionately called him, was always kind and enjoyed sharing in a short conversation. He always extended his hand for a handshake and always had a smile on his face. The love of God certainly showed through him! Both of us will truly miss the kind-hearted greeter of Riverview Manor and will fondly speak of him for many years to come!
