Clifford Wayne Fritz was born on August 9, 1936, in Versailles, Ohio to
the late David & Clara Fritz. He was called home on May 12, 2018,
at his residence in Bradford, Ohio while surrounded by his family.
He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He
is survived by his wife and best friend of 62 years, Frances Marie
Lavey; his son, Douglas Fritz (Angela); daughters, Deanna Hulsman (Rev.
Thomas Hulsman), Denise Weber (Michael), Donita Hopkins (Larry) and
Dixie McCord (Stephen).
Cliff is survived by 14 grandchildren, Shannon Fritz, Amber (Fritz)

In addition to his parents, Clifford was also preceded in death by his
siblings, Loretta, Edwin, Walter, John, Annabelle, Lloyd, Donald and
Robert.
He was also a farmer, a carpenter and lived his life investing in young
people as church Sunday School Superintendent, Sunday school bus
driver, and at the Michael’s Home in Greenville and Clear Creek Farm in
Sidney.
Cliff was a neighbor to all and knew how to make everyone smile and
laugh by his jokes and his deep laughter.
Most of all, he was a man who served God with all of his heart. Before
he did anything, he prayed. He sought first the kingdom of God above
all, and everywhere he went, he made sure to talk about Jesus.
A celebration of life service will be held at 10:00 AM on Thursday, May
17, 2018, at Solid Rock Apostolic Church 8991 US 36 Bradford, OH 45308
with Pastor Matthew O’Shell and Rev. Thomas Hulsman officiating. Burial
will follow in Greenlawn Cemetery in Versailles. The family will
receive friends on Wednesday from 2:00 to 4:00 and 6:00 to 8:00 PM at
the church. Memorial contributions may be made to the charity of the
donor’s choice. Arrangements are under the direction of Zechar Bailey
Funeral Home in Greenville.
