In addition to his successful engineering career, Fred was also a farmer, rancher, board member for several companies and day trader.
Fred had a very successful professional career, but his greatest joy and satisfaction came from his family. He married Kay Magnuson in 1960 and together they had two sons.

In addition to his role as devoted husband and father, Fred relished his role as BooBoo to his three granddaughters, Abby, Anna and Cookie. He invented the Bonk, which will forever be a treasured Wenninger fare-well ritual.
