To the family of Jack Fitzpatrick I would like to send my sympathy and condolences. I am the daughter of Connie and Bob Hoffman, my father having been with Gulf Oil in London in the late 50's and early 60's, Pittsburgh, then retired in Singer Island, Florida. I met your parents on many occasions and remember them as delightful, interesting and charming people. I know my parents were very fond of them.
Seeing your Dad's obituary flooded me with memories of days past. I send you my deepest sympathy in your great loss.
