Dear Becky & Freddie, Becky, Becky, It has been many years since I have seen you and Fritz, but I still remember the old days. I am so sorry for your loss and I hope God will be looking out for Fritz and the family left behind. Posted by: Jimmy Warren at November 28, 2006 06:41 AMDear Becky and Freddie, our thoughts are surely with you as you go through these difficult and sad days. "Fritz" was a generous man, giving much to Wakefield Baptist in the form of Sending to you my love and the wish that I could be with you for the services. Am still in recovery from major back surgery, however, so must stay at home. With deepest sympathy, Betty Owen Posted by: Betty Owen at November 27, 2006 01:50 PMFritz was one of my structural planners for the Aircraft Carrier Planning divison. I have supervised many over the years, but found that Fritz had the 'total package'. His 'balance' of life was second to none and it was observed and respected by all that knew him. His dedication to everything that he pursued will be missed by all that knew him. GOD BLESS YOU FRITZ Posted by: Steve Gray at November 27, 2006 08:21 AM |
