Henry "Bud" Fitzgerel

I was fortunate to know Bud for 12 years. I am a member of the Road Runners car club that Bud was a 50 year member. In those 12 years my respect for Bud grew each year. A true gentleman with not a bad bone in his body. His quiet manner and always ready to laugh endeared him to everyone who was fortunate enough to know him. Veronica was particularly fond of Bud. His quiet demeanor (and appreciation of her deviled eggs) endeared him to her. I race at el Mirage and Bonneville as Bud did...

I was in the Road Runners car club with Bud for a few years. Bud was always a neat guy with a great disposition...The kind of guy you liked being around.... I can say this, being around Bud made me a better person and I can say that my life is better for knowing him... Bob Sykes Jr.

Bud has been a close friend since we were 12 years old(that's 55 years). He was a special person that everyone who knew him loved and respected him for the wonderful person that he was. You will be missed my friend and I will think of you often. Rest in peace knowing you have made a positive impact on a lot of people. I am proud to have known you and shared our friendship.

I only knew you for a few years Buddy but you were a good friend. I will miss you at Burrito Thursdays, at our monthly Road Runners meetings and at the El Mirage and Bonneville events. Rest in peace my friend. My sincere condolences to your family.

Bud will be greatly missed.My Prayers are with the Family.

Our friendship goes back to the seventh grade. I will miss visiting with you at our 50 th reunion next year from California High School. You will be missed by all your friends.

MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
