Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
This message is for Whitney… Whitney, I saw in the paper the passing of your grandfather and wanted to send my thoughts and sympathies to you. Blessings, Dorothy Nixon (Gray) (Your first grade teacher)
I remember Dr. Fritz volunteering in Botanica’s library when I was on staff there. He was always so cheerful & friendly. The staffers adored him. He’ll be missed.
Dear Linda, Jim and Family. I was sorry to hear of your father’s passing. He left a tremendous legacy and a family of wonderful people to remember him and share his name in this community. Steve and I know those feelings of loss, but also know that you can celebrate your dad’s life in the spirit in which he lived it. Our hearts are with you at this time.
Fritz, as he was known to all of us who loved him, was a wonderful, gentle person who presented a guide of how to live. He loved his family and friends deeply and he worked hard at his profession and passions. Growing up as a child in his presence I recall his caring and nuturing approach. I remember mostly his wit and ready smile. I feel so fortunate to have known him
