"When the going gets tough, the tough get going!" - Fritz Hartmann

Fritz was a great mentor to me, one of a short handful who had the greatest impact on my life. I'm glad to see the names of my wrestling teammates- John Barbis, Doug Ross and Tim Golding left their regards, too. Those were the days, weren't they? I just got the message, today. It's that time of our lives when we start losing our friends to the ravages of time.

Dear Bridget and Catherine,
I am so sorry to hear about the passive of Fritz. I have very fond memories of Fritz both in the wrestling room and while drinking beer. His laugh, humor, and advice to me and other crazy wrestlers meant a lot to us. Haverford was not exactly the easiest place to coach wrestling but Fritz found a way. My sympathies and best wishes go out to you and your family. John Barbis

As my math professor at Villanova helped me find self-confidence and remains for me that guy you want to be. I have thought often of him and some of the things he said throughout my 29 years as a math teacher.

Fritz was my wonderful wrestling coach at Haverford College, a mentor and a friend. He made a huge difference in helping me (and many other young men) grow while he coached us in addition to teaching at Villanova. I remember when I was struggling with understanding Taylor's Series in my freshman Calculus class, he helped me in such a clear and thoughtful way to master the concept, and I wasn't even one of his students. My wife, Jerilynn and I were privileged to socialize with him and you, Bridget, who lit up Fritz's life in the time after we graduated. Fritz was an unforgettable character and a true leader in a most positive sense. Jerilynn and I send our deepest condolences and love to you, Bridget, Catherine and all the family!
