Not sure what to say?

I worked for Dr. Fries at his practice in Marion and upon his retirement he allowed me to purchase it (with a handshake and a check). He was a jolly fellow and I loved hearing his dental stories. He was so dedicated to dentistry. We so enjoyed seeing him at events long after his retirement. Thanks for the opportunities! Love, Heather and JoAn.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Fries on various community boards and his dedication and hard work was always evident--no matter what the need. He was truly a servant of the people and made Marion a better place to live. Thank you Fries family for sharing this wonderful man with us all. Ed and Marla Keppler

Our hearts go out to Nancy and family. We would love to have come to the celebration of life and Mass, however Beth is currently in the hospital in St. Louis. Our prayers go for Nancy and George and family. Love always, Dan and Beth Brock

I am offering my sincere sympathy and prayers for you all. I was thinking about Dr. Fries A couple of weeks ago or so. The things that is said about him is true from my point of view. Back in 1973 or 1974, I called him and told him about the problem that I was having with my teeth. He took me right in and cut those wisdom teeth out. For that I am very grateful. Thank you Dr. Fries. R.I.P.

I have many fond memories of time spent with the Fries family in Marion. Dr. Fries will be missed by all! Thinking of your wonderful family.

Dr. Fries was an inspiration. My deepest condolences to his family. May his memory be a blessing.
