Arthur Fritsche

Dear Tim, Jeff, and Peter, My sincere condolences on the passing of both your mother and father. Such an incredible loss to all of you. One of my first memories of your father was when we moved into our new home (across the street from yours). I was 5 years old. My younger sister, Cindy, managed to climb into our car, put it into neutral, and coast down our driveway into your Dad's prized tree. He came to our home to explain what happened. Ugh, your poor parents - what kind of people moved into their neighborhood?! Your parents took such beautiful care of their home and yard. I remember the soft spot they have for animals - your Dad walking the family cat down the sidewalk on warm evenings. And, the vehicles they purchased from the post office - brilliant! And also very cool! When I think back on my memories of growing up on Black Oak Drive, your parents are part of them. Again, my most heart-felt condolences to all of you, Susan ("Suzie") Lund

Had a lot of good memories of with the Fritsche family.

Fritsche family.....I was so sorry to read of the deaths of both Art and Esther.....I worked in the Payroll/Benefits area in the Department of Physics for many years and have many fond memories of Art and also Esther. I especially remember the time Art and Esther were going to Hawaii and couldn't tell Art's mother until after they were gone or as Art said something would come up that they would not be able to leave.

From: Cheryl, Jeff & Ericka (Stellflue) Kline To: Tim, Peter & Jeff & all your families ~ We were so surprised to hear about the passing of both of your parents on the same day! Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you and your families during this difficult time. Being with all of you, along with my parents, on so many holidays, special occasions and lots of fun times over many years will never be forgotten by any of us. They had lots of wonderful traditions that got passed down through the years not only to your families, but to ours as well. We remember both Art & Esther were very proud of their 3 sons and would do anything to keep their loving family together, and yet had enough love left over to include any outsiders, like us, as part of their family, and it was greatly appreciated by all of us. Both of my parents have also passed away, so we understand how hard this must be for all of you. We wish you all the very best.

Very sorry to learn about the loss of both Art and Esther. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this sad and difficult time. May knowing they are still together provide some comfort and serenity. We will miss them as our neighbors.
