Kevin SavageI was fortunate enough to have many dealings with Mr. Fritsch over the years.
Our first transaction was rocky(early 8o's when I was a new punk in the hobby)- but over the years I found him to be very friendly and a wealth of vintage information. He was a pioneer who blazed a trail for all of us guys who started as dealers in the late 70's and early 80's and have been able to make this hobby our livelihood. I knew him as a man who had a vision many of us did not- and a guy who had a true love of collecting.
It is always a sad day when another hobby pioneer passes on. It makes me think about how short this life is- and how the people in this hobby (both collectors and dealers) and our relationships with each other and how we treat each other- is ultimately so much more important than "the latest find".
I will miss Larry Fritsch.
