After losing my wife Marilyn this past April and a few months later, losing one of the best men I've ever known, my brother Fritz, it was devastating. He was my best friend and I will miss him the rest of my life.
Sarah, take comfort in knowing that now you have 2 special angels to watch over you and they're waiting to play poker! Your loving brother, Carl

No Offense to all my other uncles but Uncle Fritz was my FAVORITE uncle. He was the most loyal, passionate Chicago fan I ever met. I will miss him and always remember him. Ray Tripoli
I will always remember the first time I met Uncle Fritz. Angie was 2 yrs old and I stopped there on the way home to California. I met Uncle Fritz and it was the first time in my life that I'd ever heard "God love her" for everyone. I will miss him. Linda Tripoli

What a wonderful tribute to my father today. For all who were present thanks for your kindness to our family. For those who couldn't attend, but kept us in your thoughts today your energy helped us thru this rough time. My Dad was celebrated today , that was what he instructed us to do. We are happy he is at peace, but sorry to not have his presence. He will forever be with us in spirit. As a family we will continue to make him proud. All fathers take note, my Dad is a great example if a man who loved his wife and children.
