Wow. A man of great grace is gone from us. I'm sure he had a flaw or two, but all I remember is his sweet smile and gentle kindness. He and my dad had a special bond as fellow electricians who married into the same family. Uncle Fritz actually set dad up with the middle Geiszler girl. My thoughts and emotions are a mix of sad for your loss and happy for his gain. Blessings to all!

Ah praying for you all.... what a kind gentle man... He is the grandpa of our daughter in law Christy... and the great grandpa to their children, Brenna and Caylee.. Our son, Ryan met Christy because of our friendship with Fritz and Irene. We sang with Irene and Fritz in a senior choir at Missionary Church in Ventura, Calf. They were so full of grace....... What a joy to be connected to this whole family . I am so grateful to have known Fritz and his gentle ways.. a real gentleman who loves the Lord. Well done faithful servant.. we will all meet again........ Love you... Darlene Hanson
