Dear Kaul Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Fred was an outstanding individual who guided and taught me much during the two years we crossed paths on the County Board together. His gentle nature, his steady guidance and lest we forget the twinkle in his eye all encompassed the Fred we knew and loved. My heart goes out to all of you but I have the belief he's smiling down on all of us, encouraging us to carry on with our own paths. Peace be with you and your family.

My family's thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Fred was a wonderful man, and it was a pleasure to get to know him on the County Board. He gave so much of himself to others, and he touched so many lives. We were all blessed by his life on this earth. Fred was reunited with the Lord on my 40th birthday, and that is something I'll always remember. I'm so sorry that we won't be able to attend the services, but please know that we'll be thinking of you all. God Bless You.

My dad, Fred Warmuth, went deer hunting with Fritz for many years in Bayfield County, Wisconsin. I always spoke very fondly of Fritz and his family.
