I will miss fritz. He was a very very close friend of the family. He has known me since I was a toddler. He saw me grow up and he was a very nice and sweet man with a big heart. I will always remember all the good times with him and all the hard work he has done for years doing my parents big roast. When I graduated he bought me something very special and I still have it. It wasn’t cheap either. It was a leather jacket with a wolf on it and I was in aww and thanked him so very much. I didn’t expect for him to buy me that for a gift. I remember him and Mikey they were like two peas in a pod. They loved each other so much. Fritz’s favorite song he loves for me to sing was A picture of me without u. He said that song reminded him of Mikey and him. If fritz had a service I would of asked and would of wanted to sing that for him becauad he loved that song amd it always brought tears to his eyes. Fritz u will be loved and missed by so many. I hope your resting and enjoying it with Mikey up there in heaven. I love u. U will always be in my heart.
