My Dad and Ron, Sr. worked together for many years. He looked up to him and learned a lot from him as a young Firefighter. Things were much different back in their day. And they loved to reminisce whenever we would visit.
As a child I remember the Fireman's Picnics & All of the Families & Fun. He has always been a Friend of the Family & a Very kind man to All who knew him.
He will be Missed. God Bless You All & Sincere Condolences, The Fitzgerald Family.

Ron was a wonderful neighbor on Roe-Ri Rd for 18 years. He was a surrogate grandfather to our 3 children and a hero because he had his own firetrucks!! He taught my oldest son how to tie his 1st tie. He was my coffee buddy at the diner and never turned down a piece of my cherry pie or my cheesecake. He was a very special friend to me and he will be terribly missed. I know Ron is happy because I'm sure the firetrucks are spectacular in heaven!
Our love and prayers are with the entire...
