We were saddened to hear about the passing of former union leader and retired math faculty member, Dick Fritz.

Dick served as MVFA Vice-president and played a leading role in negotiating several contracts. Additionally, he served as treasurer for Cook County College Teachers Union, Local 1600 and Department Chair of Math.

Since his retirement, he has been missed at the MVCC campus. We want to acknowledge his work and friendship, and send our thoughts to his family
