    May I offer my condolences to the family of SFC “Fritz.” I first met Fritz on an Army Annual Training session with the 5501 Army Reserve Hospital at Fitzsimmons Army Hospital in Denver in 1971, We recognized each others names and discovered we were both raised in Corcoran MN and were associated with St. John’s Lutheran where my Dad had accepted a call as pastor in 1953 and where I grew up. Fritz was a great guy who mentored us younger enlisted members of the unit at Ft. Sam Houston in succeeding years.
