Raymond Fricke

I was sorry to hear that Mr. Fricke passed. I learned of this just recently and am sorry that I was not able to attend the services. He was my very best teacher I ever had. There is a song called, Thank You that whenever I hear it I always think of Mr. Fricke and all he did and was to his students. From the first day he walked into our class room at St Luke's to the last time I saw him at my wedding in 2001 I knew this was one special man indeed. Truly blessed and touched by God.

I just heard of Mr. Fricke's passing -- and amazing that even though I am well into adulthood, I remember him by his "respected" name. I went to Walther with his daughter, Donna -- we were in Poms and Christian Minstrels together. I was shocked to hear of Donna's preceding him in death, but know that they are together with the Lord. Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time.

God bless you and keep you in His care.

Dear Marlene and Family,
We just learned of Ray's entry into heaven. What a flood of great memories came rushing back from all the times we spent together while you lived in Itasca and Ray served at Walther. Playing pinochle, and sharing the fun was terrific, but the fact that you both were models for us as "younger" teachers at the time was more important than you might realize. God has blessed countless students and teachers through Ray's ministry and your family's care.

It was a privilege to work with Ray at Walther for four years. He was a mentor and a "super" friend. We pray that you will be filled with the peace and joy that he knew Jesus as his friend and savior. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Marlene , Barb , Rick and family
I am so sorry for your loss .
It is always hard no matter what the circumstances are to loose someone we love. Just have to believe they are in a better place and know that they are watching over you .
