Richard Scott Fritz was born on April 26, 1924 in Cylon, WI. to Frank and Hazel (Cain) Fritz. He moved with his family to Lewiston, Minn. where he attended school, graduating from Lewiston H.S. in 1942. He enlisted into the U.S. Army – Air Force in 1943 where he played the tuba in an Air Force band, traveling and performing often.
Following his discharge in 1946 he returned to the Rochester area and married Ramona M. Priebe. The couple lived in Rochester, raising their 5 children. They were later divorced. Scott was a lifelong businessman and entrepenuer, beginning his career as a service station owner/operator.
Fritz owned several service stations and eventually was a partner in B & F Truckstop in Rochester. He owned and operated Blue & White Cab and Yellow Cab in Rochester and was a partner in B & F Distributing for many years.
Scott remarried in December of 1976 in Stewartville, Minn. to Margie S. Westphal. The couple moved to a farm in rural Rochester, where they built a house overlooking the Root River Valley, raised horses and enjoyed trail riding. They also enjoyed spending winters in Mexico. Mrs. Fritz died on August 12, 2007 and Scott continued to live at his farm home. During the last 2 ½ years he was assisted by his granddaughter, Nikki Fritz and great grandson Dylan.
In the years after his service in the Air Force he performed in area big bands including the Whoope John Orchestra. He also enjoyed hunting, boating and water skiing, going to dinner with friends and time spent with his family.
Fritz is survived by one daughter and four sons; Becky Fritz of Austin, Minn.; Barry (Terry) of Aitkin, Minn.; Tracy (Reynalyn) of Marshfield, Wis.; Marti of Columbia, S.C. and Brad (Becky) of Kasson, Minn.; one sister - Joan(Bob) Shipley of Tuscon, Ariz.; and significant other, Carole Walz of Rochester; seven grandchildren and several great -grandchildren.

Friends may call from 5pm to 7pm on Thursday, May 2, 2013 at Griffin-Gray F.H. in Stewartville and one hour prior to the service at the church on Friday morning. A private family burial will take place at a future date. The family suggests memorials to the Olmsted County, Root River Park.
