Fred was born on April 29, 1935 in Bedford, PA to Thelma and Frederick William Heath, Jr. He was married to Wanda Lou Beringer of Martinsburg, PA from February 22, 1958 until her passing in 2005. He is survived by sons Brad Heath of Austin, TX and Glenn Heath of Plano, TX, their spouses, Sareta Anselmi Heath and Erin Thompson Longley Heath, and grandchildren, Cassandra and Kyle Heath, and Collin and Alexandra Longley.
