Honoring the Memory
of Those
We Love

Age 85, of McKees Rocks, on Tuesday, June 2, 2026.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of George “Fred” Guenther, who departed this world on his 85th birthday to be reunited with the love of his life, the late Kathryn Guenther.
Fred was a dedicated husband to Kathryn, his loving wife of 63 years, a devoted father to David Guenther (Amy), and Dianne Ritter (Dennis) and a proud grandfather to Samantha Ferguson (Trey), Alexander Ritter and Elizabeth Guenther.
Fred never wavered in his love for his family or his commitment to living life fully. He chose to embrace life’s opportunities and challenges. Fred supported and enjoyed all of his children’s and grandchildren’s activities and sporting events. He rarely missed a performance, competition or game. Fred picked up golf later in life and as with everything he did, he embraced it with a passion. His greatest passion was spending time at the Yough Lake on his boat with his family and friends, making memories that will never be forgotten. Fred’s experiences were as vast as his love for his family and friends.
Fred was a hardworking man who built a career as an electrician with IBEW Local #5 and spent much of his life working for Giant Eagle. As a lifelong hockey fan he supported Pittsburgh’s original team, the Hornets, and lived through the highs and lows of the Penguins as a one time season ticket holder and later as an usher at the Civic Arena and PPG Paints Arena. Fred was also a lifetime member of the Baldwin Fire Department
Fred’s stories, “Fredisms” and generosity will be remembered and cherished by all who knew him.
Friends will be received at the John F. Slater Funeral Home, Inc., 412-881-4100, 4201 Brownsville Road, Brentwood 15227 on Monday, June 8, 2026 from 2-5 and 6-8 p.m. Funeral prayer on Tuesday, June 9,. 2026 at 9:45. followed by Mass of Christian Burial in Blessed Trinity Parish, St. Albert the Great Church at 10:30 a.m.
