Surviving is his beloved wife of 33 years, Laura (Fulcomer) Friesema of Batavia as well as his children, Christopher (Sara Tracy) Friesema, William Friesema and Julia Friesema all of Batavia; grandchildren, Elizabeth, Julian & Aurora Friesema, Kaylub Dunn and Peyton Mickey all of Batavia; sister, Joanne (James) Daly of Cheektowaga; niece, Tara; nephew, Michael along with aunts, uncles and cousins.
