Went to Cathedral with Larry. He was a guy we all looked up to. Could readily say that he got that from his father. Peace and blessings to the Fitzmaurice family.

Mr. Fitzmaurice was a class act. Always well-groomed and well-dressed whether at a wedding or a casual walk. We would see him on occasion, at Mass or walking the mall, where he always talked fondly of Larry and all of his family. A proud and appreciative father and relative he was. May he rest in peace.

An Irish Blessing to the Fitzmaurice family-
Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us everyday,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed, and very dear.
So sorry for your loss.
