I´m so sad to find this out. I know Fritz from visiting Bob Schmudde at ISU. We remained friends but lost touch in the early 1990´s.
I miss you my friend. I wish it was easier back then to stay in touch.

I just found out about Fritz passing. I'm so sorry. I know you all are a close family. How devastating to lose a brother before his time.

I knew Fritz from high school. He always had a smile and laughter. The world will miss him. My thoughts and prayers to your family.
