Fritschs-
I know it's been 25-30 years since I last saw Jerry, but I will never forget my childhood memories on Fairfax. Many great times, no matter the season, no matter the weather. His passion for life was second to none.
God Bless-

For all the time I have kown you Pat I have known of Jerry and infectious joy and perserverance. I had the pleasure of meeting him once and found him to be such a happy, positive and funny guy! Despite his great difficulties and many health problems he still shown with joy and laughter. He is a person that when you met him - you will awyas rememeber him. Although there is comfort knowing his suffering is ended now - my true and deeply felt sympathies to you and your family now and always. He is in your heart now. May God belss you all on this and every day.

Dear Fritsches,
The sad news of Jerry's passing brought back many happy memories of Fairfax families and friends. I remember Jerry with a big smile. I know my mom and dad are welcoming him in heaven. They thought he was very special. I am so sorry for you loss and am keeping Jerry and your family in my prayers.

Mrs. Fritsch, Jane and Marianne, I am so sorry to hear of Jerry's death. My mother would be crying now as she had such a dear place in her heart for him. Nancy and I send our sincere sorrow for someone who touched our hearts so beautifully.

Dear Family of Jerry,

I was shocked to see Jerry's notice yesterday. I recognized him right away. I taught English at MARIST HIGH SCHOOL and was fortunate enough to have Jerry in my class. I knew he had some health issues yet they never seemed to bother him. He was always so serious about his work yet very social with all those around him. His picture is a classic: Smiling and looking up and forward to whatever life presented. I can certainly see him accepting all the challenges of life but doing it with the graciousness of a wonderful man. Today I will be attending the funeral Mass of Father Patrick Henry, pastor of St. Catherine of Alexandria in Oak Lawn. I will always remember Jerry and particularly when I am at St. Catherine's. May God give him the peace he so richly deserves.

Dear Mrs. Crutch and family,

I am saddened to her of Jerry's passing. He wascalways such a happy soul ready to talk about some topic enthusiastically (usually sports!). I never fully appreciated as a child all that he dealt with, but as an adult I thought of him with admiration for his strong and positive spirit. I miss the days back on Fairfax when we were all there for each other. Wishing all of you peace.

What a wonderful cousin Jerry was. I will remember forever his distinctive laugh, his many stories, his love of the Beatles, and above all, the strength and optimism he displayed through many difficult times. He was a kind, friendly soul who will forever be missed, forever be remembered, and forever be loved.

I am so sorry to hear about Jerry. I remember him well from Fairfax St. and St. Catherine's. He was a very nice boy. He faced many difficulties but was always friendly. May he truly be at peace now.

My Friend Jerry - I remember our days at Marist like they were yesterday. In life we lost touch, but I know how difficult it has been for you and wish you and your family Peace!
