What a loss, although I have only had the pleasure of knowing Fritz for a short time, I truly enjoyed my time with him. He was so full of life and always had a joke!
My heart goes out to the Sickels family, keep in mind that he is in a better place and with his true love once again.
God be with all of you.

My prayers go out to the Sickels family at this time. I spent a few summer days at the Sickels home as a friend of Fritz in our younger days. Always was a great place to play.
