MISKA, FRED STEWART, age 90, of Groveland Township, peacefully passed away May 5, 2025.

He was born on September 23, 1934, in Burwell, Nebraska, son to the late Fred and Gladys Miska (nee Flock). Loving husband of JoAnn for 66 wonderful years.

In his spare time, he enjoyed antique car and truck restoration, spending time with his beloved dogs and family (even occasionally sharing his favorite ring bologna with them), skiing, riding his motorcycle and helping anyone in need. He was honest to a fault and had a rancher’s steadfast work ethic, splitting and stacking firewood just two days before his passing.
