“It may sound trite but I think most of us here are grieving the loss of what we feel was a family member,” Quinn said. “It’s difficult to express our deep affection for Dan. He was an extraordinary man -- funny at times, always hard-working, driven to perfection, sensitive, warm, kind.”

Fritz was born in Detroit and is survived by his mother and a sister who live in the Palm Springs area.
