Obituary for Harry Frederick "Fritz" Meck
Harry “Fritz” Meck, 79, of New Holland, died Saturday, February 6, 2021 at Hershey Medical Center.
He was the husband of Judith Ann Bowman Meck. Born in New Holland, he was the son of the late Harry S. Meck and Clarinda Fox Meck.
Fritz Meck was a true Patriot, serving his country well. He served with the 187 Airborne (the Rakkasans) which were attached to the 101st Airborne.
Fritz was an avid boater and fisherman. He loved the outdoors. He enjoyed upland hunting with his friends and dogs. He also enjoyed shooting trap and going to auctions with his many friends.
His passion by far was duck hunting, decoys and fox shotguns. Duck season was enjoyed on the eastern shore of Maryland in a small two-story frame house known as the Duck Shack, surrounded by his many buddies and his wife. Scotch often made an appearance here.
Fritz is a member of the American Legion in Havre de Grace, the Penn Dutch Sportsmen’s Club, The Upper Bay Museum in North East, MD, the NRA, the Fox Collectors Association, and Delta Water Fowl.
Nobody loved a family more than Fritz loved his. He was always available to lend a hand. Fritz loved spending time with his grandchildren.
Fritz will be missed by his community and friends, but mostly by his children, grandchildren and his wife.
Surviving besides his wife are three daughters, Reva Gwinn Logue wife of Thom Logue of Denver, Sheila Meck Arment, wife of Tim Arment of New Holland, and Alicia Ranck Sweigart of Goodville; a son, Paul Ranck husband of Amy of Marion Station, MD, 7 Grandchildren and 5 Great Grandchildren. He was preceded in death by a brother, Richard Meck.
His service will be held at Indiantown Gap with full honors, which he so deserves.
