I've known Fritz for many years and it saddens my heart with his passing. It seems just like yesterday that I hugged him and not knowing that I would never see my friend again. My prayers are with his family and he will be missed greatly .
You were good friend, mentor, motavator mand a kind person. I will miss you
Fritz was such a wonderful and amazing person. I am blessed that I was able to work with and learn from him but most of all to be able to call him my dear friend. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends. Fritz your spirit and memory will forever be with us. I will miss you. ~ Kris
I didn't know Fritz well, but I do know he was a dedicated father and provider for his family. We had the opportunity to share time with his family and it was always evident how he lovingly cared for his daughters. He will be missed.. Dr. Bob Breen
Beautiful in Blue was purchased for the family of Fritz Wencker Petree.
When I first met Fritz, I had no way of knowing that life would set us down a path of friendship that for both my husband and I, would last for so many years. We both shared a great love for our family and over the years we shared many stories as well as the milestones our children achieved. When I lost both my mom and my husband within six months of each other, it gave me great solace to have Fritz be there with his support and positive attitude. One year, Fritz did a project with his girls, where they made what he called Gratitude Rocks. Each rock has a one word message of inspiration glued to a clear small rock that would be carried in the pocket of the receiver. I don?t remember what message was on mine because after so many months of carrying the rock in my pocket the message came off but I still have the rock and the energy given from this gift still remains with me. The last time we saw each other, he gave me a small wood disk that contains a simple message of appreciation printed on it. It was the simplicity of these two gifts that I will always remember his kind heart, his laughter and the serenity he brought to my life. Fritz will be missed but I hope our roads cross again so we can again share our stories.
I was blessed to know and work with Fritz at RadioShack. He was the type of person who, secure in his own expertise, encouraged others to expand their own horizons. Those who worked with him recognized his greatness, but not because of any focus on his own doings or strengths, but because of his excitement in the development of others. He invested in others, and because of that, his spirit will live on. In spite of that, he will be greatly missed.
Had many a fun time with Fritz over the years and I am deeply saddened by his passing. I will always remember him with a smile.
Fritz will forever leave a legacy. He was such a kind soul who touched many lives.
I worked with Fritz at RadioShack and he was always so kind. He will be missed.
