Warren F Rosenbaum on April 29, 2009 at 11:51 PM said: Having moved from Fresno in March, 2008, I was unaware of Marshall's passing. I've known Marshall since about 1981 when he visited the Libertarian group in Sacramento and stayed overnight at my house. When I moved to Fresno I attended a BBQ at his house with like-minded patriots. Once I helped move his office to a location in the north Tower District. My Mom (Eva Rosenbaum) was also honored by his organization as she submitted answers to a questionaire as a retired school teacher. Marshall was an exception man, a leader that inspired many. His work in the Separation movement planted a seed that hopefully will continue to return education to learning and analysing instead of the indoctrination that is so pervasive. Marshall, you are a model to be emulated. God has a special place for His children that you proved to be. Blessings, WFR

Eugene Fritz (Marshall's son) on April 27, 2009 at 06:29 AM said: Thank you all for your kind words. Hard to believe we are coming up on six months since his last breathe. I wanted you all to know that "Mommasita" Joan his widow is coping very well. As for me, I'm going back to school to get my Master's. Who knows after that. Maybe I'll publish a book(something dad always wanted to do). Once again, thank you all for keeping his legacy alive and well. Keep up the fight for Freedom.!!!!!!! Gene "the machine"

Ronald Court (in Vermont) on February 24, 2009 at 04:58 AM said: Back in the early 80's, I had no idea what Libertarianism was. Then someone brought me to hear a man named Marshall Fritz, who came to VT under auspices of the barely known Libertarian Party of VT. His "stump" speech, wherein he cites John Adams, and introduced me to the World's Smallest Political Quiz, has changed my life. Were it not for him (and others who followed), I would not be living out my own "bucket list" by founding the Booker T. Washington Society (www.BTWsociety.org) to cultivate character, education and opportunity among young people. God Bless you, Marshall Fritz.

Robert on February 14, 2009 at 05:47 PM said: It's always sad to lose a great and inspiring advocate of freedom. May his work continue to benefit all of America. Don't let his lessons be lost.

Sharlene Holt on November 28, 2008 at 01:33 AM said: I met Marshall at a conference for the Alliance for the Separation of School and State in the mid-1990's, and I signed the Proclamation. I had just read Lewis J. Perlman's "School's Out," which appears now to be out of print, and I met Mr. Perlman at the conference along with John Taylor Gatto. Around that time I was championing Educational Savings Accounts, and Britton Manasco mentioned my name in his article, Factory-like schooling may soon be a thing of the past (http://www.reason.com/news/show/29962.html). It's too bad we still have plenty of factory-like schooling going on! Marshall's energy toward establishing a more libertarian future for education will be missed.

Patty (Reid) on November 23, 2008 at 01:15 PM said: Marshall, When we spoke of you it was never by name but it was always as the Jolly Green Giant from the old CFM days! This is how I will always remember you, the gentle giant. You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten. May the Good Lord bless you and your family. Love, Patty

Sunny Abarbanell, Fresno, Ca. on November 19, 2008 at 10:54 PM said: I met Marshall at a Libertarian meeting probably 35-37 years ago. We hadn't seen each other until David,his wonderful grandson, played his first piano recital in my living room music studio. David did remarkably well and we all were proud of his acccomplisments. We made the connection that politics brought us together initially and then many years later, his family and music. I remember reading letters to the editor in the local newspaper that Marshall had written in support of freedom. Those are values that we continually share. I am sorry for your loss. We have lost another champion of freedom. He will sorely be missed.

Alan R. Weiss on November 17, 2008 at 11:09 AM said: I never knew Marshall, and I never met him. But I did meet and come to befriend one of his proteges, Varrin Swearingen, who attended Marshall's school and became a President of the Free State Project. Like Marshall, like Varrin, like Dr. Ron Paul, and like myself, Christian Libertarians are principled, but not joyless. If Marshall was anything like Varrin (and I believe he probably was), he must have been a real joy. God bless you, Marshall, and bless your family. May your Good Work continue on in the hearts and minds of those whom you have directly, or indirectly, touched.

Ken Mitchell on November 16, 2008 at 06:07 AM said: I was a classmate of Marshall's as well as a fellow Libertarian. We reconnected in 1999 because I was trying to set up a school reunion. My cousin was home schooling his son, and I learned what Marshall was devoting his life to. We kept in touch due to our common agreement os school choice. He'll be missed. Best to his family.

Alex McKenna on November 14, 2008 at 12:01 PM said: Marshall was a 'giant' physically and intellectually. One of a rare breed with the courage to be 'correct' rather than 'politically correct. Unfortunately, I didn't know him well enough. But the Marshall I came to know will always be remembered by me as a decent Christian man who lived life with zest and committed to using the talent God gave him to the fullest.

Sheldon Richman on November 14, 2008 at 08:14 AM said: He was a friend and inspiration. I loved the man. I will miss him dearly.

Danielle Littlefield Monahan on November 13, 2008 at 06:38 PM said: After my husband, Jay M. Littlefield, died in September 1997, Marshall allowed me to have a scholarship to attend the seminar on The Separation of School and State in November 1997 in the Washington DC area. The seminar was great and so was Marshall! I will never forget his kindness. At the time, I believe he was battling prostate cancer and was doing well. Condolences to his family. He will be greatly missed.

Annie McKenna, daughter on November 13, 2008 at 05:26 PM said: Thank you for all of your kind words. This is an amazing tribute to my father, your friend. His grandchildren will truly know the goodness of their grandfather from all of your words and memoirs. Thank you, through tears, and utter joy for my father; that his message was heard, LOUD and CLEAR! "Seek the truth. Conform your life to it."- Marshall Fritz.

Alan Bock on November 13, 2008 at 02:14 PM said: I hadn't been in touch with Marshall except occasionally by phone for some years, although I knew from others that he kept ministering to others and seeking ways to comfort and encourage them even as he knew his life was ending. That was not surprising. He was one of the kindest people I ever met. He was (is) one of the good guys -- somebody who not only thought and talked about liberty but did things, tried things, kept experimenting, always willing to let the market tell him whether he was succeeding or not. He succeeded at a life well lived.

Robert Knight on November 13, 2008 at 10:18 AM said: Marshall's unflagging good humor and energy were inspiring and infectious. He is already greatly missed. May God bless Joan and his children and their families.
