Not sure what to say?

I am so saddened to hear of Fritzy' s (as I called him ) passing. I had the pleasure of meeting & getting to know Fritz & his family while caring for his beloved Dorothy..Even after her passing we stayed in touch..speaking often.. He was so very proud of Fritz & Gary and their accomplishments..his grandchildren were the cream if the crop ..Fritz my favorite German you and Dorothy are together again holding hands that I know you have missed..Auf Wiedersehen , mein Freund

Fritz was my Godfather. Talked with him last time at his birthday last Jan 1st. He talked and behaved as he did all his live. Never saw him in a bad mood. He was always joking and friendly even when he was ill and had pains. A true paragon!
Heard how peacefull he now walked over the Bridge. Hardly know anybody else who has more deserved to go into the light in such a peacefull way.

I remember Fritz from Cat and seeing him around town. He was always nice, friendly, and liked to talk. What a wonderful human being he was. Surely he will be missed. So sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Terry Schmidgall
