Worked with Fritz in the basement of City Hall for over a decade, never a dull day with Fritz around. I remember the time when Fritz asked for my help on a call from St Cloud State, seem that 3 german sheppards were being detained by campus police, when we arrived the dogs were in the cop car and the campus security was standing outside. Fritz knew these dogs and opened the tail gait on the truck, I opened the back door on the cop car and the three dogs just hopped in the back of the truck like trained animals. Never forget the look on the faces of the campus cops. RIP Fritz

Look at that smile..all their church photos would turn out so nice. our condolences to all the family and friends of Fritz..he is now with Margie and all his family members in heaven..We never realize how little time we have here on earth..so important to be kind to one another. Fritz was an active man on a bowling team and got out often until covid ..it was lonley to live alone. when younger Fritz owned a nice camper that he used with his wife for fishing and relaxation. He had good friends that took him places and he appreciated that. He and Margie were Godparents to many of their nieces and nephews.. we used to meet at Perkins in SaukRapids or St. Cloud for a meal and lots of coffee when mom was in the memory care in Sauk Rapids…I dont think he liked rest homes!! He will be remembered for his kindness and compassion to all of us..sympathy and prayers to both sides of his family.
Uncle, you were such a treasure. I still hear your laughter in my heart! Love you!
