Fritz worked for S.D. Warren Paper Company and was transferred to Muskegon, Michigan in 1975.
While in Muskegon he took up golf and he bowled for many years on bowling leagues. In 1978, Fritz
was transferred and moved his family back to Maine. Fritz loved the Maine beaches, where he and his
family spent many summers together, along with camping in Naples, Maine. He also was a member of
the Westbrook Eagles and Portland Elks Club for many years. He retired in 1993 as a Finishing
Department Manager and then in 1994 he and Audrey moved to Rotonda West, Florida where he

landscaping his yard. He always took great pride in keeping their homes looking pristine. He was a
member of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church.
The Family will have a private memorial at a later date at Sarasota National Cemetery.
