Fritz G. LozierBOURBON – Fritz G. Lozier, 83, of rural Argos, passed away Thursday, Dec. 19, 2019, at home after a two-year battle with cancer, in the care of his family and Marshall County Hospice and Palliative Care.
Fritz was born May 6, 1936, in Palm Springs County, Fla., the son of Harley Lozier and Marjorie Sechrist. He was a long-time resident of Marshall County, graduating from Bourbon High School in 1954.
On March 20, 1954, Fritz married the love of his life, Beverly K. Bair. He worked various places over the years, including as a deliverer of the South Bend Tribune, milking cows for Martin Farms and making kitchen cabinets at Coppes Napanee.
In his free time, Fritz loved woodworking in his shop that he called “The Wood Works.” There he made countless custom-ordered treasure chests, rocking horses, cabinets and quilt racks. When he wasn’t in the workshop, you would find him restoring old cars, building campers and helping his family with home improvement projects. His friends and family knew him as a “jack of all trades.”
Fritz enjoyed fishing, NASCAR, racing go-karts, mowing the lawn, eating cinnamon rolls with coffee, watching classic westerns and RFD-TV. He also enjoyed attending Triton sporting events as a fan of all sports and players.
Fritz is survived by his wife, Beverly, of Argos. Survivors also include his children: Tony L. Lozier, of North Webster; Tom L. (Diane) Lozier, of Windsor, Colo.; Fritzi K. Broka, of Anderson; Margo M. (Jan) Lemler, of Bourbon; grandchildren: Uriah J. Graham, Quintin R. Lozier, Tyler L. Lozier, Wolf B. Broka, Orion W. Lemler, Alyson K. Lozier and Joey F. Lemler; and several great-grandchildren. Sisters Jane Hamilton, of Dana, and Jami (Kenny) Yates, of Bradenton, Fla., also survive.
Fritz is preceded in death by his parents.
In lieu of a funeral, the family has arranged for cremation services for Fritz.
