Fritz immigrated to the United States in 1957, settling in the St. Louis, MO area. He married Rose Wisnewski on Feb. 20, 1960 in Belleville, IL. She preceded him in death on June 5, 1990.
He worked as a food & beverage manager at various hotels in Chicago, IL. There he met Anna Putigna, whom he married on Aug. 24, 1996.
Fritz loved playing soccer and started playing as a boy in The Netherlands. He continued playing in America, and started the Belle-Claire Soccer League in Belleville, IL. He also enjoyed traveling. He and Anna owned an RV for a few years and enjoyed camping. They also went on a cruise every year for 20 years. Fritz had a good, soft heart, and he enjoyed spoiling his grandchildren.

Kroesen; three children: Anna Rose (Frank) Scheid, Christopher (Christina) Kroesen and Alyssa Putigna; three grandchildren: Andrew Scheid, Katherine Scheid and Willow Uelman; seven siblings: Jane (Ed) Windsor, Anna (David) Calvert, Theo Kroesen, Benno (Cherie) Kroesen, Aaltje (David) Close, Leendert (Betty) Kroesen and Violette Nast; and one sister-in-law, Irene Kroesen.
