Fredrick "Fritz" Awig

Vickie and Michael, I know how lonely it is to lose a parent, especially one as loved as Fritz. But the consolation is that he is with our Loving Lord with no more pain or suffering and enjoying being with Sally, who he adored in life and will have an even more loving relationship together with God. Know that you are in mine and John's prayers.

Vickie and Fritz, Your dad was very special to me. He gave me my first kitty - Kitty Foo. I just don't remember not knowing your mom and dad. I am Tom Snavely's "baby sister, Mary Ann". Wow, there were lots of Green Road stories that involved your Dad, Bob Gibson and Tom. I really do know how hard this is for you and your families ... my words of comfort would be: cherish the wonderful memories ... that is what Fritz would want. And to know he has no more pain. I grieve with you.

Fritz and Sally welcomed us to our first Gyro meeting when we moved to Cleveland. They were always gracious, and we became fast friends. Neither lost their enthusiasm for life. We cherish memories of both.

Dear Vic and Michael,
My sincere sympathies to both of you. Fritz was such a special person. I so loved his sense of humor and gentle ways. I am so glad that he often joined our gatherings for games and dinner. Will always remember that he took the pictures and captured all of us at our best. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
With love,
Karen

Vicki and Michael and family,

The most vivid memory I have of your Dad is his unique walk. He had a hunched over stance that in most people would have made them look old but in his positive, jovial way it made you notice the spring in his step. Which made him up until the end appear young and full of life. Also he almost always seemed to have a camera in his hand or nearby. Recording all of lifes events. You will be greatful for all of these memories when you look at them as...

A loved one lives forever in the hearts of those who care
A loved one lives forever in the memories that were shared
--Hoping that memories of Uncle Fritz will be a comfort today and always.

Keeping you our prayers and hoping it helps you to know that God is with you, offering His Love and lending you His strength.

"Fritz" was such a special friend. He knew just what to say, when to say it, and who to say it to. He had a unique way of picking up your spirits and to giving reason for everything. We, Class of 1943-- Orange High School, have lost a dear,dear friend.

Dear Vicki, Mike and Family,

We are so sorry for the loss of your father. Fritz became a true and dear friend to us since our joining the Cleveland Heights Gyro Club. We will remember him lovingly. Your Gyro Friends, Brian & Roberta

To our dearest friends,
Your loss is our loss. We were always so blessed that Fritz felt comfortable hanging out with all of us! We will miss his great laugh, warm smile, and heartfelt hugs, but we will never forget the kind, gentle soul of the man. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Fritz is forever in our hearts.
Love,
