Paul A. Fritz

As a former student, this pains me to see. He had a great impact on my life, not just college. A dear friend of mine also had him as our advisor. To this day, when something positive happens in our lives, we say: " Fritz would be proud".

He remains one of the "great" alums, and we will remember him as a professor with a kind soul, always willing to help students and faculty.
