Zur Erinnerung zum 5. Todestag von Willi. Wir werden immer an ihn denken und in guter Erinnerung behalten.
Er fehlt mir sehr, auch unsere Telefongespräche. In ein paar Tagen ist der Todestag von Vater und Horst. Da wird einem immer schwer um s Herz.

Liebe Jeanette mit Familie!
Ich möchte Euch auch im Namen aller Verwandten unser aufrichtiges Beileid aussprechen. Ich wünsche Euch viel Kraft und Zuversicht für die nächsten Jahre. Es ist schwer einen lieben Menschen zu verlieren, der so viele Jahre an Eurer Seite war. Ich bin so froh darüber, dass ich noch bei ihm sein durfte, noch schwerer war es ihn leiden zu sehen und nicht helfen zu können. Ich werde meinen lieben Bruder nie vergessen und ihn in guter Erinnerung behalten und in meinen Gebeten einschließen. Meine Gedanken sind bei Euch.

My sincere condolences go out to the Fritscher Family. I worked with Willie for eight years at Guild Music and learned so much about wood and building of guitars, he was a master of his trade and it was a great teacher to me. My thoughts and prayers to all of you at this difficult time.

My deepest sympathies to all of Willie's family and friends. I didn't know him personally, I only knew him from the beautiful instruments he helped make (two of which I own). Across the world his legacy will live on in every note played on one of those Guild guitars. I'll be sure to take mine out today and play in his honor. He song will never end.

My most sincere condolences go out to Willi's family. Having known him for almost 30 years, I found him to be a loyal friend, a man who was very proud of his family and proud of his many contributions to the music industry. May he rest in peace.

My heart is so saddened by the loss of Papa Fritscher. He has been in my life for as long as I can remember and he will be missed. My love goes out to my extended Fritscher family; Grammie, Susie, Karl, Linda and all my kiddos. I love you all so much! You are all in my thoughts and prayers and our lives will never be the same without both of our amazing papas. Love, Susie and Seth
