William E. Fritsch

Age 62, of Orfordville, died following a brief illness on Friday, February 2, 2024 at the Monroe Hospital. Bill was born on April 26, 1961 in Freeport, the son of Kearney and Reva (Napier) Fritsch. He graduated from Lena-Winslow High School in 1979. Bill was employed at Advance Transformer, Stoughton Trailers, and most recently Kuhn North America in Brodhead. He enjoyed music, dancing, sports (especially Kentucky Wildcat basketball, Chicago Bears, Chicago Blackhawks, and car racing), but most of all loved to spend time with his family and friends. He was known to be a hard worker and like spending time manicuring his lawn.

He is survived by a son, Brayden Fritsch of Wisconsin Dells; three sisters, Nanette (Jack) Crowe of Mesa, AZ, Sherri (Roger) Beyer of Eldridge, IA, Teresa (Robert) Meinert of Rockton, IL; and several nieces and nephews. He is further survived by Brayden's mother, Vicki Fogel of Orfordville, and her two daughters, Stephanie (Andrew) Jordan of Sun Prairie, and Mindy (Jeffri) Hurm of Friendship, WI. He was preceded in death by his parents and grandparents.
