Vivian and Family,
My heart sank when I heard the news recently. I can not express enough what an inspiration Coach Frick was to me. No matter what kind of golf game we or he had for that matter, he always maintained that wonderful smile and great laugh. I will never forget the long drives to Dos Lagos for practice and the fun and laughs we had in that lil' blue van. Although we may have all gone our separate ways, I am sure he holds a special memory for each of us. He will be greatly missed but the memories will live on. May God Bless your family; my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Coach Frick, you had such an impact on my life, you taught me many things that i carry with me til this day, but what stands out the most was you once told me "That win or loose, if you can look yourself in the mirror at the end of the game and say you gave a 110% than everything was o.k." I thank you for the coach you are, and the man you made me become, you will truly be missed and loved always (D. LINE 1987-89)
