FRITZ, Eugene A.

The Payson Roundup, Payson, Arizona, Saturday, May 17, 2014 Eugene A. Fritz U.S. Veteran June 6, 1930 - May 12, 2014 Eugene A. Fritz, USAF Retired, was born June 6, 1930 in Jasper, Ind., and passed away May 12, 2014 in Payson, Ariz. The following is dedicated to him: HE IS NOT DEAD I cannot say, and I will not say That he is dead. He is just away. With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, He has wandered into an unknown land And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there. And you — oh, you, who the wildest yearn For an old-time step, and the glad return, Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here. Think of him still as the same. I say, He is not dead — he is just away. — by James Whitcomb Riley His Friend for Many Years, Joe
