Richard F. Fitzsimmons

I was thinking of him just yesterday.

To the Fitzsimmons Family,
I was saddened to learn of Dick's passing when I saw his obituary on Monday morning. I only knew him in his role as principal at Rock Hill School. He was a very compassionate and dedicated supervisor and principal. I will always remember his smile and his mellow manner. He was the optimal boss.

Dear Mrs. Fitzsimmons, Jimmy and Deb, I have such fond memories of our Cape Cod family vacations. I have also been in the Wallingford Education System for many years. I wish my mom could have joined you, but she is also at Masonicare. She sends her love! Please let me know if you need anything. With Sympathy, Joan Papale and Fayne Kowalski

To Deb and family --
I was so very fortunate to teach at Robert Earley Middle School when Fitz was principal. He cared about his students and teachers in such a special way that we were a true family. Our memories of those times are magic and we are so grateful to Fitz for being an enormous part of that
joy.

Fitzsimmons Family, We're sorry for your loss. May all your cherished memories bring you comfort, to help ease your pain and saddness. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. The Langella Family

Mr. Fisimmons was one of the nicest teachers I had at LHHS! He made class interesting. Although he is now out of pain, he is not lost to us, for he will always be in our hearts as a special person in our lives. Tom and Carolyn Ferraiolo

Our heartfelt sympathies to the Fitzsimmons family. We have such a long connection to you all - Fitzie was an amazing friend to my parents, and such a wonderful teacher to both of our families. God bless.
Mary Ellen Kingsland-Eckels and Steve Eckels and family

Dear Deb, Jim and Debra
My deepest sympathies at the loss of your beloved husband and father. I had so much respect for "Fitzy" as he was called at the schools. I loved when I was assigned to substitute at one of his schools throughout the year. He always treated me as a valuable member of the staff for the day. His bright smile and cheerful personality will be missed. I am sending up prayers for all the family and friends who loved him.

Dear Fitzsimmons Family,
I had the pleasure and privilege of working with "Fitzy" when he was vice principal and I was a teacher at Robert Earley Middle School. I have so many fond memories of his wonderful smile and his gentle ways. I am so sorry for your loss, but please know he lives on in the memory of so many he touched.
