I will miss Tom. We had a great 5th grade class with Mr.Reid. We used to play the Marker Game. Tom would always make us laugh in school and in baseball. The thing I most remember is that great catch he somehow made with his elbow and how funny he was telling us about it. Tom also made up the batting order for our Babe Ruth team. We were all excited to see how it would work. He brought us a lot of good luck definitely. To Mr.and Mrs.Fritch and Jack, I hope these good memories will make you feel better. I will always remember Tom.

Story shared: Baseball and #8 : Tom Fritch

Fri, 15 Nov 2013 11:31:16 EST

The best move ever made was picking Tom for our baseball team several seasons ago. We actually picked him every single year thereafter and we joked that he was the only player with a long term contract in BBA - but that he could opt out if he ever got tired of us. (One year, we even secretly broke the rules and traded a player for him.) Tom was always the fan favorite and most well-liked player among his teammates. He loved baseball, but probably loved the things that go along with it more - the friendships, the humor. But Tom had an uncanny ability to come through when his team needed him most. In one game we were leading by a run but the other team had the bases loaded. Tom was playing left field when an "impossible to catch" ball was hit like a laser towards him. My view was blocked for a moment as the stands erupted in pandemonium - cheering that Tom had somehow caught this nasty, hooking line drive bullet. He was mobbed by his teammates. It later proved to be the game-saving catch. I said, "Tom - that was unbelievable - how did you do that?" He said, "Coach, actually - I wasn't even paying attention. I was watching this bird in the woods and everyone started yelling and before I knew it the ball seemed to hit me on the arm and I caught it somehow." Other noteworthy escapades were when he went up to the plate with an enormous plastic "fat bat" which was probably a foot wide - much to the consternation of the umpire, and then the time he struck out while watching an antique plane in the sky, saying "I never saw a plane like that". He had the entire crowd on Cleary Field, including the umpires and coaches, watching this plane. And of course the many times he drove in a run from 3rd base when all seemed lost, and finally, the many times he'd ask: "Did we win?" during a team celebration. Tom was a good player who always gave his best effort, cared deeply about his teammates and was always respectful to the coaches and everyone. He was an example to all players on how to conduct yourself and how to have fun. Tom wasn't overly comfortable with getting too much attention, but that humility was one of the endearing characteristics that make him someone others his age should aspire to emulate. He leaves many others who will miss him deeply with these memories and hopefully the wisdom to see the meaningfulness his life brought to us. We were blessed to know him. In life, Tom Fritch made us smile. When I think of him, that's what I will always continue to do.

Story shared: Tom in the Pool

Fri, 15 Nov 2013 09:10:45 EST

My favorite story of Tom which always makes me laugh took place at a family party in my back yard. Tom and his cousins and friends were playing in the pool and our daughter Catherine noticed that Tom was under the water a little to long. Thinking she would save Tom, Catherine jumped in the pool and pulled Tom to the surface. While her adrenaline was pumping she looked at Tom to be sure he was alright, Tom looked back at her, pulled a squirt gun out of the water and squirted her in the face, laughed and jumped back under the water. When I told Catherine of Tom's passing, we cried then remembered this story and laughed. I hope all who knew Tom have a story which will make you laugh when you remember him.

Condolence From Tayler Schwamb

Thu, 14 Nov 2013 21:56:37 EST

One of the most infamous poems by Mary Frye goes like so: Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awake in the morning's hush I am the soft uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry I am not there. I did not die. I thought of sharing this, although there is the large possibility you've read it, as a reminder that Bethel will never forget this young man. Although I did not know him personally, I would like to take the liberty to speak for those who knew him and those who never had the pleasure to meet him when I say he will not be forgotten. My deepest condolences are given to your family.
