To Judy and the Family:
I am still in shock at the loss of one of God's favorite creations. Fritz was such a kind, smart, impressive gentleman. I recall looking forward to having talks with him when I would come home to N Adams from college or wherever I lived at the time as much as I appreciated connecting with my classmates I grew up with. Thank You soo much for sharing your wisdom and introspective views on Life. Love Always -Paul
