WILMINGTON Frederick Glenn “Fred” Padrick Sr., 81, died Thursday, Feb. 25, 2021, at his Middle Sound home. Fred was born Dec. 14, 1939, in Wilmington, the son of the late Leon and Evelyn Powell Padrick. Also preceding him in death were his brother, Lynalbert Padrick; and sister, Florence Aycock. He retired from the New Hanover County Public School System after 23 years. He was well loved and respected by both colleagues, children and their families at Blair Elementary, where he finished his career with the public schools.

He was the owner of Fred’s Sourdough Bread for roughly 30 years. ....
