As a former student, this pains me to see. He had a great impact on my life, not just college. A dear friend of mine also had him as our advisor. To this day, when something positive happens in our lives, we say: " Fritz would be proud".

In 1990, Paul´s leadership and commitment to student achievements was "showcased" in an event entitled "Leadership Showcase Essay Competition and Town Meeting." Students were invited to submit essays offering "ingenious and practical solutions to persistent community problems" addressing "civic issues using classic humanities perspectives." The public forum allowed five undergraduate students to showcase THEIR abilities to critically address real-world problems or deficiencies "affirm[ing] hope and confirm[ing] values nurtured by free choice." Paul´s vision empowered those students who participated to see themselves as problem-solvers in real community matters. Such initiatives change lives-including how those students saw, and will see, themselves as participants in building a better community. God Bless Paul´s vision to empower students in such an profound and enduring way!

So sorry for your loss. We knew him as Pastor Fritz as he married us in 1976 in Grace Lutheran Church in Fremont Ohio. We still remember his words of wisdom he gave us during our counseling. Many prayers for your family at this difficult time.

Dr. Fritz was one of a kind. His passion for teaching, his students, and others in general is rare to find. I am blessed to have the privilege of having been one of his students as well as the ability to move forward in my education because of his recommendation and his inspiration. You will be missed.

Paul's students loved him because he held them to high standards and inspired them to pursue their dreams. His door was always open. Paul cared about other people and told me stories about volunteering at the Vail Meadows Therapeutic Riding Center. He loved to chat about his dog and current events as well as about research ideas, particularly in studying communication among the elderly or in medical settings. He was a great colleague and an even better friend. He saw the humor in unlikely places that always made me laugh. I will miss him, but I am very glad that our paths crossed for nearly 25 years.
I am sorry for your loss, Peggy, Jonathan, and the rest of Paul's family and friends. May your memories bring you comfort.

Dr. Fritz was generous with his knowledge and always helped out by being a guest speaker for my Health Information Management program. UToledo was so fortunate to have him onboard for 40 years. He remains one of the "great" alums, and we will remember him as a professor with a kind soul, always willing to help students and faculty.
