My prayers & sympathy to Fritz's family during this time of loss. He was very helpful when I covered Midland for WSGW and one summer as a MCSD marine patrol deputy. May he R.I.P.

The community of first responders in Midland County is better for having Fritz as a part of it. He will be missed by many, but his teachings will live on with those that knew him, and with future members of the first responder community. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family

Sorry to hear of the passing of this good man and good cop. We worked a lot of cases together and he made me a better prosecutor. Godspeed.

Candee & Family

My sincerest sympathy with the loss of a husband, father, and a friend. Fritz was a treat to work with, serious when called for, also a prankster when needed.
Remember all the good times, and love he shared with family, and the fortunate people of Midland. May God bless you at this time of sorrow.
