Robert Fitz

How fortunate I was to meet and become a good friend of Bob's in junior high school, being friends for life! We had so many good times together in sports, class and with our high school sweetheart wives through out the 62 years of friendship. We miss you Bob, R.I.P. Gary & Annette

Time passes much too quickly and we lose touch with classmates, but one thing that never changes is the memory of those precious years and the people we shared them with. Joan Bradley Fritz was my best bud in elementary and high school. When Bob came along and stole Joan's heart, it was one more gem to add to my circle of friends. He was the kind of guy that was rather brief with words, but long on knowing and demonstrating what true friendship was all about. I know, without reservation, there is a line a mile long of people in agreement. I have no doubt that Bob was enfolded in Angel's wings and given a safe journey home. May it bring a measure of comfort to Joan, the rest of the family members and to all who knew and loved Bob, to be assured that there are so many that share your sorrow. Diana Kalish Backus

Joan, my sympathy to you for your loss. But never forget, how blessed you were to have so many years with such a stand-up guy. Bob, thank you for your friendship. Someday, on the other side of the river, we will again discuss memorable Volkswagons. Bob Akamatsu

Praying for God’s peace and grace for all of the Fritz family. I had the pleasure of playing a lot of ball with Bob. I was a year behind him at East. He was a leader and a gifted athlete. I will always remember his great upbeat attitude. I know he will be missed by all, stay focused on the great memories. It’s been years since I’ve seen him, but I will never forget him. Blessings.

Bob Fritz ....no one could ever ask for a better, loyal friend! Joan, you and family maybe don't know how many great friends Bob had...He was so respected by everyone. You and your beautiful family have our deepest sympathy. Bob was gifted in so many ways ...Athletics, fb, bb & baseball, best drummer at East, maybe all of Mad Town! Bob forgot more about cars then the rest of us together knew... Bob could throw a helluva party.... Good times at The Cottage....Wirth Court...Tenny Park beer parties, Breese Stevens, The Anchoe Inn, and playing for Security State Bank and our coach, Mike McCormick! Truly a man's man... He'll always be in our thoughts and prayers! We love you Joan! Af Jim Affholder
