Not sure what to say?

I am so very sorry to hear of John's passing! I just found out today and I was extremely saddened. I will forever remember the bond we had. God bless him and his family. I'll stop here because I can almost hear John telling me, "don't be fussy." Love you John!

Our Heartfelt Condolences to all the Fitzgerald Family. Our Dad, Phil Finnegan, served with your Father and Jim Rohan in Korea. All three Irish born men. Your Dad was our parents' (Phil and Nora) Best Man in 1952. Then as was the custom he was Godfather to their oldest child, Noreen. Our Dads had a Special, Unbroken bond. Our Deepest Sympathy and Warmest Regards, Noreen, Phyllis and Hugh Finnegan

I have heard nothing but good things about John from his daughter Mary who I worked with. Thank you for your military service sir and I am happy to learn that you realized a good career and raised a very successful family as part of your American Dream chapter from your deserved GI Bill college degree.

“A Korean War veteran has passed away today.” John, you stand relieved from your post. A job well done fellow war veteran. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom. The final volley has sounded and taps is about to begin, ending a successful career as a nation’s defender. Farewell fellow veteran.

I've known Mr Fitzgerald, for close to thirty years, father of mary, i've met most of the family who's a wonderful dad and a great family man.And a terrific business mind, I used to go ceili dancing with him and his wife. I wanted thank him for his service and his bravery with purple hearts and all kinds of awards. That was the kind of man he was. He strived for the best. He taught his children the same way he will be very missed. But now, at least he'll be with his wife.God bless Mr....

John,
Thank You for Your service to our country.

God Bless You!
God be with your family!

Sincerely,
A Grateful American

Condolences to the Fitzgerald family.
