Ralph Jon Fritz, the former sports personality at WCCO, the Minneapolis-St. Paul CBS O&O, has revealed that he has terminal stomach cancer.
In a mass email sent to his friends and colleagues, Fritz revealed his diagnosis:
This is, without a doubt, the most difficult E-Mail I have ever sent. Within the past week, I have been diagnosed with Stomach Cancer that is inoperable. It is TREATABLE but terminal.
AdvertisementI want to be as up front as possible so people don’t hear things 2nd hand or through the Rumor Mill. Please know that I am so thankful to have had you in my life. I have had the absolute best friends a man could ever want. You guys are the greatest. Thank you all so much.
Fritz spent the better part of four decades at WCCO, before retiring in 2005.
