He spent countless hours watching the next sporting event. He was always at the rink or at a field watching his kids and grandkids, nieces and nephews, cheering for every victory and enjoying every moment. For more than 55 years, Fred was the proud owner and operator of A.T. Mscisz and Sons Construction and Cemetery Services. Under his leadership, the business thrived, contributing significantly to the Danvers and wider North Shore community. Fred's dedication to his work and his ability to guide his company with integrity and foresight were unparalleled. Always active in the community, Fred was a member of the Polish Club in Danvers and the Knights of Columbus. He embodied the spirit of community service, always ready to extend a helping hand to those in need. Fred's presence was a comfort to many, and his willingness to contribute his time and resources made a lasting impact. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and golfing. Since 1988, he enjoyed spending time at his second home in Daytona Beach.

Mscisz and his wife Kaitlyn, Morgan Mscisz, and Jared Mscisz; great-grandson, Talon Mscisz; brothers and sisters-in-law, Chester Carol Mscisz of Topsfield, Louis and Jean Mscisz of Danvers; and a host of nieces and nephews.
