James Homer Fritz, of Bath Township, passed away February 12 , 2019 . Born August 18, 1942 and married 57 years to his Stow High School sweetheart, Karen (Archer), Jim was a kind and gentle man. Jim never had a bad word to say about anyone as it was against his personal code of ethics. Loved by all, Jim never made an enemy, but only a very long list of friends. Jim was well known in the community as a flooring expert for 50+ years. Jim enjoyed boating, camping, fishing, bowling, softball, and travel, but nothing gave him more pleasure than cheering on his children and grandchildren in their activities.

Preceded in death by son David, Jim is survived by his wife Karen, sons Jim and Dan, daughter in law Jackie, and grandchildren Paige, Daniel, Davey, and Cassie. As a faithful Christian Jim looks forward to joining his son Dave as well as other loved ones in heaven.
