Freddie Grozelle is the son of Fredrick Louis Grozelle and Mary Grozelle (0’Connell) and step brother of Richmond, Keith, Violet and Verne – Fredrick Louise and Cora Grozelle’s children.
After Cora’s death, Fred married Mary O’Connell. At some time during or after Freddie’s birth Mary died.Mary’s sister Kathleen and Hurbert Medhurst raised Freddie. The videos of Freddie of his babyhood and growing up years demonstrate a well cared for and loved child.
You will be viewing five videos featuring the various phases of Freddie’s life from : a baby to a preschooler, Teenager, father, grandfather.
The pictures were sent to me by Karla Weir, Freddies daughter. It is unfortunate that many of the people in the videos are not identified as I do not know them.
I am hoping that if you recognize anyone, you will use the contact form and share their names and any information you may have, of the family.
