Frederick W. Bierach

Frederick W. Bierach, 75, of Harrisburg, PA, passed away on May 18, 2026. A beloved husband, father, and grandfather, he was born on August 8, 1950, in Asbury Park, NJ to the late Jules Sr.and Barbara (Lidstone) Bierach. Frederick leaves behind a legacy filled with laughter, love, and cherished memories.

Frederick completed his Bachelor's degree and enjoyed a fulfilling career as a mortgage banker. He was known not just for his professional achievements but for his warm-hearted nature and good sense of humor, which endeared him to colleagues and friends alike. He took great joy in spending time with family and friends, often found grilling in the backyard or sharing stories and drinks with fellow members at the Harrisburg Maennerchor Club.

Among his many passions, Frederick loved boating on the Susquehanna River and embarking on camping trips. He and his beloved wife, Leslie Watova loved traveling to the Finger Lakes, where they found peace and joy in the natural beauty surrounding him. Above all, Frederick was a proud dad to his son, Andrew (Heather) Bierach, and daughter, Elizabeth (Ethan) Wolkowicz, and a loving Pop-Pop to his grandchildren: Clara and Parker Bierach and Dominic and Nora Wolkowicz. His joyful spirit and infectious laughter will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege to know him. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his brother, Jules Bierach, Jr.
