Fred M. Stassen age 64 of Menomonie, died Friday, November 19, 2004, at his
home in the Township of Menomonie after a long illness.
Fred was born December 26, 1939 in Hinsdale, Ill. He was the son of Fred
and Martha (Trout) Robinson. Fred graduated from LaGrange High School in
Illinois and attended college at the Art Center College of Design in Los
Angeles, Calif.
Fred married Alayne Goode on October 10, 1964. After marriage, they lived
in Los Angeles and Chicago, prior to moving to Menomonie in 1973. Fred was an
accomplished photographer and award-winning filmmaker, winning the Chicago
Film Festival Award in 1980.
Fred loved the outdoors and spending time with his family and friends. He
was a passionate environmentalist.
Fred is survived by his wife, Alayne; a son, Eric (Sara) Stassen of
Charlottesville, Va.; a daughter, Michelle (John) Reed of Chippewa Falls; and
his mother, Martha Sampson of Elmwood.
Fred was fluent in German, Spanish, and Russian, and was an avid
photographer. He met his wife Alayne, an RCAF nurse stationed across town,
while at the 01st. Following their marriage, he graduated in Photography
from the Los Angeles Art Center.
Those who had the good fortune to know Fred recall him never having set foot
on base except to 1) shower and shave, 2) work and 3) wolf down the haute
cuisine served up by the chow hall sadists. He always kept an apartment, and
usually donned dark glasses, a trench coat, and multiple 35mm SLR cameras
and lenses hung over his shoulder. The spook outfit and hardware were, he
explained, the best ways to meet girls. Local Germans sized him up as a CIA
agent, and Fred gave them no reason to think otherwise. In fact, he relished
the accusation.
