Michael J. FITZPATRICK

Very sad to hear of Mr Fitzpatrick's recent passing. He was my science teacher and football and wrestling coach at Warden High School in Warden, WA in the late 1970's. To this day Mr. Fitzpatrick remains one of my favorite teachers. Although he was not so happy with some of us when we held his plastic frog that he used in class for ransom! (I don't recall Fitz paying the ransom either. Plus we had to return the frog.) A good man and a good teacher and Coach. Rest in peace Mr Fitzpatrick.

I have known Mike for many years even when I worked at Brentwood as a fifth-grade teacher I worked with Mike a lot on science related activities. I love him dearly, he will be missed. I am sending prayers to his family and you have to know that we all thought very highly of Mr. Fitz.

I arrived at Northwood when Mike was the Athletic Director. He was always on top of things and super helpful to the coaches. His calm, friendly demeanor set all at ease when associating with Mike. Super guy. We missed him when he retired and the world is minus one more "good" one.

He was one of my favorite teachers. There were and are few and far between as good an instructor as he.

I will never forget his kind heart. He was a dear friend when I most needed one. I looked forward to walking into school every morning. He always had a big smile.
God Speed Fitz, May the sun always shine upon your soul.

To Maureen and Her entire Family I send my deepest condolences and Prayers! God's Blessings!!

Last time I talked with Mike was when Jordan was in my science class. I enjoyed my time working with him at Northwood
I will miss him- he was like a mentor to me

He was one of the very best!

Mike was a good friend to many of us during his days at Northwood! He was an excellent teacher and wrestling coach as well as a great neighbor to my family! I learned many lessons of kindness and patience from him and he will not soon be forgotten! What a great guy! Thank you Mike!
