Not sure what to say?

I met Jeff in January 2017. I had been looking for the Vince Lombardi USPS stamp for over 20 years, and discovered that he had several uncut sheets and blocks- I bought his whole stockpile! I was in Green Bay on business, and drove all the way to Stevens Point in a heavy snowstorm (we don't get much snow in Texas!) to purchase the stamps! While he and his son thought I was crazy for driving there, they could not have been nicer! I just found out about his death when I received the latest...

I was very saddened to read of Jeff's passing. I never met Jeff but had spoken to him many times over the phone and found him to be a very kind and genuine person. We always talked that it would be nice to actually meet someday in person. Prayers to the entire Fritsch family.

VERY SAD TO HEAR ABOUT JEFF.KNEW HIS FATHER, A GOOD MAN " THE APPLE DOES NOT FALL FAR FROM THE TREE"

I am very sorry to hear that Jeff passed away. I came to visit his father with a team from the Library of Congress probably 16 or 17 years ago, and enjoyed meeting Larry.

Very sad to hear of Jeff's passing. I'm an avid sports card collector and the Fritsch name is an anchor in the hobby.

So sad to hear the news of Jeff's passing. As a fellow collector and customer for decades, I visited Stevens Point on numerous occasions. Jeff was kind enough to visit my sports pub in LaCrosse in the past. Jeff and his dad were the pioneers in sports card hobby and sadly missed but remembered.

I was shocked to hear about Jeff. I hadn't been close to him in the last 20+ years, but he was the best man at our wedding, and a great guy. Sue, Ardy, and everyone, I am so sorry. He was too young to go.

So Sorry to hear of Jeffs Death. He called me a while back and said they were going to visit Door County in May. He also wanted me help him get in touch with a realtor up here, as he was interested in a condo in Door County. I enjoyed dealing with him and his Dad throughout the years with cards. We go back to 1972. Deepest sympathy to the whole Family. I was looking forward to seeing him in May.

Sue and family, I am saddened to hear about your loss. The Fritsch name is still known world wide in the baseball card world. To me, they are the Pioneers of the baseball card hobby. Hopefully, history will show that one day. Both "Big Lar" and Jeff were always great to me and every time I saw Jeff he always had a smile on his face. My condolences, Jeff will be missed by many.
