Lana and Family,

We were shocked to say the least. Please know that we are here for you and if you need anything, just let us know. May God be with you all during this trying time. Remember though, this is just the beginning of a wonderful journey for Fritz.

Lana, Jennifer, Luke, Jane, Gina, Fritz Sr. & Ardes,



Words cannot describe how sorry I am on Fritz's passing. He was a great guy. He will be greatly missed. Fritz has been a long time friend and our lives won't be the same with out him. At our "get togethers" there will always be a void without Fritz there. Fritz has touched so many lives--always had a smile on his face, a joke, just a great guy to be around. I feel very priviledged to be counted as one of Fritz's friend.



We will miss him.



Take care--our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our hearts mourn and eyes grow wet. from tears of sorrow but no regrets. We remember a man who made so many smile, then God looked down at his beautiful child. We will always remember the man we loved. Till we meet him together from heaven above. Lana, and family, words will never describe the saddness that myself and "the gang" are going through. Class reunions and our golf outtings will never be the same. We will miss him deeply. Be strong through this difficult time. God's Blessings, Vince,(Pam) Tim, and Vanessa Yaeger

Fred - what to say about Fred. A freind who is loved very much and always will be. Fred - the silly funny one, the caring one (never forgot anyone's birthday or anniversary), the goofy jokster, the best trivia guy, the best friend, the one who kept the Gang coming back together, the best cocktail recipe memory, the best cook when he was following one of his mom's yummy recipes. Fred - charming to all the girls in our gang, but always more attentive to his Lana. Fred - the calls every week just to see how we were doing and to see what was up, the leaf raker and campfire builder at our cabin, the coffee maker in the morning after a long night by the fire. So Fred, I could go on and on but I just need to know what we are going to do with out you always there for us.



We love you very much, and we will pray for your family and friends you've left behind so we can all find our way during this very challenging time. Be good 'til we see you again.



Fred, WHAT ARE YOU DOOOOing?
