He loved to work at his businesses and to spend time with and talking to people. Even though he couldn't read a note of music, it was his passion. He could play any song he heard by ear on several different instruments. Fritz played saxophone in a band in his 20s and again in the 1960s and 70s, under the name of the Moonliters. He also loved taking his "daughters" and granddaughters on their yearly Christmas shopping trip for their special gifts. Fritz served as a Day County Commissioner for a short period of time in 1981. He also enjoyed building, buying and reselling commercial businesses. Grateful for having shared his life is one son, Mike of Webster; two daughters: Mary Jean (Chuck) Hesla of Webster, Pat (Valdis) Birznieks of Denver, Colo.; one daughter-in-law, Stacie Grosek of Sioux Falls; seven grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, two brothers and seven sisters.
