He was born on September 23, 1926, in La Crosse, Wi., to Friend George Trevallee and Anna Fredrieka Stolle. After high school graduation he enlisted with the US Navy in 1944 and served in the Pacific Theatre and the Aleutian Islands for the remainder of the war.

Friend moved to Dubuque in the late 40’s to work at the newly opened John Deere facility and continued there until his retirement in 1984.

On June 29, 1949, he married L. Berniece Opland, Mindoro, WI., at First Presbyterian Church, Galesville, WI. They had three children: Friend Steven, Seattle, Daniel Pern, Ashland, OR., and Kay Marie (partner Kai Gabriel), Marion, IA. All survive him, along with numerous nieces and nephews who knew him as their “Uncle Junie”, and sister-in-law Rosalie Naab Trevallee, Sun Prairie, WI.

He was preceded in death by his father and mother, aged 87 and 100, respectively; his brother Charles, Sun Prairie, WI., 92, and sister Marie Louise Lokken, La Crosse, Wi., 82; brothers/sisters- in- law Eunice Opland Jones, West Salem, WI., Lyle and Doris Larson Opland, La Crosse, WI., Fred and Hazel Opland Larson, St. Paul, MN., and Pern and Rene Opland, Baraboo, WI.

Friend was a member of the Masonic Lodge and Oxus Grotto, volunteering his time in their worthwhile charitable endeavors.

The family wishes to thank the staff and hospice nurses at Bethany Home for their care and kindness; Friend’s buddies at Central Ave. Auto Sales for their friendship and kindness; the neighborhood dogs who faithfully waited for their treats during dad’s walks; and finally very special thanks to John and Teri Goodman for their devotion to our parent’s safety and comfort.
