THOMAS FRIES

I had the pleasure of working with Tom at the Bureau of Public Assistance in Los Angeles County during the early 1970's. He was a very pleasant person, very bright and very nice to be around. May God bless his family and know he is in heaven playing chess with God. Hank Foster L. A. County Data Processing 1958-1972 Living in Dallas, Texas

It was nice seeing you girls Friday. Nice luncheon.

The Cherland Family extends our heartfelt condolences to the Fries. Tom Fries was a wonderful mentor to my younger brothers Carl and Derek and many others through the chess club. We appreciate his guidance and mentorship and will sincerely miss him. He was an earnest and caring role model to my brothers, and a tremendous asset to our community.

Thomas Fries had so much energy and enthusiasm, especially when playing chess ,he taught me and number of kids the fundamentals of chess at a chess club on main street . I remember he could rewind a chess game in his head and show you where you made your mistakes. Thomas could make anyone laugh and in chess that's challenging .He will be sorely missed.

On behalf of my family, please receive our deepest condolences for the passing of Mr. Fries.

My sincere condolences to the Fries family.

I had a lot of interaction with TOM over the years and guarded him as a fine lawyer, and an excellent person. He was honest and straightforward and a credit to the law profession. My very best to Tom´s family. Orlando Foote.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.
