Fritz,

You were my mentor and frriend. You brought so much the sport of skydiving and the practice of law. I enjoyed you company, and have fond memories of you Regan and Carl eating lunch and talking about the law. I wish I had called more often...my condolenses to your family.

Good Bye Fritz, you were one of my favorite skydivers, you always made me feel like one of the crew and welcome, nothing less -- even though I was just a 'Wuffo'.

Good-bye, Fritz. We had some good times at The Circle and at Waveland Ave. courts. Now, you can get up there and practice that backhand of yours. Miklos always said it was the weakest part of your game !!
Adios, amigo, until we meet again.
Two of your Friend,
Don Fitzgerald
