Fritz was a man who wore many hats and had many passions. He was a committed disciple of Jesus Christ and an incredible husband, father, uncle, and friend. He was “Bop,” a doting grandfather to his seven grandchildren, a role that he absolutely relished and lived to the full. His grandchildren were the pride of his life. He was a coach, a leader, an inspiration to hundreds of people. Fritz was the owner of Big Chief Tire Company where served his entire career with absolute honor and integrity. He cared deeply for his employees and customers. He was a committed runner (did you know he was a runner?), always challenging himself and helping others in his beloved PRS Running Club, to achieve their goals in the sport he loved.
