Michael Thomas Fries

I have just learned of Michael's passing. I am saddened to lose such a good friend and colleague. Michael and I worked together for over ten years on a number of projects both Lendlease and other private sector projects.. What began as a professional relationship soon turned into a valued friendship. My heart and prayers go out to Margaret and family. He will be greatly missed. A good man gone too soon.

I just received my Miamian magazine in the mail today and was shocked to notice Michael´s name in the Farewells section. I attended several of the alumni events he organized in Phoenix over the years. He was always so pleasant and warm, and greeted us with a smile when he handed out tickets to the Spring Training events he coordinated. He always did a great job and everyone had fun attending! We will miss him!

The Office of the Dean of Students and the University of Texas at Austin send our sincere condolences to your family during this difficult time. Michael is in our thoughts.

Michael was always enjoyable to be around whether it was in an office setting, business lunch or golf course! His positive energy & smile were infectious. He spoke fondly & often of his love for his beautiful wife Margaret, children & family. I'm grateful I had the opportunity to work with him in business & get to know him on a friendly level. He will be missed, but his uplifting spirit will live on forever!

I have known Michael for about 20 years. What started as a business relationship turned into a friendship. I wish all my clients were as enjoyable to work with as Michael. A honest, hard working man with a delightful sense of humor. He will be greatly missed! My condolences to Margaret and family.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

I knew Michael when we were in our twenties. He was always a great guy and always upbeating happy. Then he moved away to pursue his degree. I knew when he left that he would be a great success in life. I am proud to have known Mike only a few years. I believe he's now in heaven with his creator.

We are so sorry for your loss. Our hearts go out to you and your family. Michael was always so nice, happy, and friendly. Sending our thoughts and prayers.
