Fredrick P. Doerfer

January 27, 1949 - November 26, 2018

Frederick P. Doerfer, 69, of West Shokan, NY, passed away peacefully after a long illness on November 26, 2018. Born January 27, 1949, in Brooklyn, NY, to the late Frederick R. and Veronica (Spatz) Doerfer, he is survived by his loving sister and brother-in-law, Carol Doerfer and James O’Neill and his much-loved nephew and godson Conor Doerfer O’Neill, all of Hudson. He is also survived by many cousins, including Edmond Hodgens of Coxsackie and Frederick Hodgens of Albany. Retired from the City of Kingston, Fred enjoyed music, art, fishing, photography, and reading. From his teen years to more recently, he played the drums in a number of bands. As he wished, he will be cremated and there will be no calling hours. To honor his memory, since this is red kettle season, donations may be made to the Hudson Salvation Army, .40 South 3rd Street, Hudson, NY, or to the charity of your choice.
