James Francis "Fitz" Fitzgerald Sr.

Fitzgerald, James Francis, Sr. "Fitz" Age 86, was born, lived and died in Janesville, Wisconsin. "People will forget what you said, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

In 1950, he married Marilyn Cullen, who was the love of his life for 62 years. They were blessed with six children. Fitz was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend who will be deeply missed but happily remembered.
