Fritz
Thank you for being such a WONDERFUL brother-in-law and sharing so many memories! your positive attitude and loads of smiles were very infectuous

It was a privilege to get to know Fritz over the last several years thru my good friend, Barbara. My heart goes out to you children in having to give him up so soon. He was a true gentleman.

Fritz was my Supervisor during the Apollo and Skylab projects. Apollo was a very exciting time for us and left me with many fond memories. Our group of LM Test Conductors included Lynn Barnett, Joel Blum, Joe Fitzsimmons, Fritz and me.

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Fritz and myself with Harrison Schmitt, Apollo 17 astronaut, at the Smithsonian

Fritz was the most unique individual I have had the privilege to know. His pure spirit shone through during his lifetime and shines brightly still.

A great guy who hovered over my shoulder during Apollo Lunar Module testing the ACE Station. Will be missed in this world but hope to see him in the next.

Always a smile and greeting when you saw him at work. What a great co-worker. Memories are the greatest thing to live on in all of us.

We shall both remember Fritz as a happy and optimistic man. May he rest in peace with the stars for which he reached.

Mark and Mike,
Our prayers and thoughts are you and your family through this very difficult time.
