Barb, Jack was a wonderful person and friend. Our friendship goes back to 1974 while working for the National Park Service. One could always count on Jack for help and professional guidance. He was most sincere with integrity second to none. How wonderful it was for the two of you to have so many years together. I will certainly miss our annual visits.

To his family, we wish peace and comfort at this difficult time, and we thank Our Lord for the gift of our brother, Jack Fritz.
