THOMAS FITZPATRICK Obituary

"KERRY" Passed away peacefully on December 25, 2006 at home in Novi Township, Michigan with Patricia, his wife and best friend, and his daughters Lori and Stacey at his side. He will be missed by his wife and daughters, son-in-law Jeff Timar and grandchildren Kerri, Kristi, Ryan, Kelli and Kati Timar and Brandon Caradonna. Loving brother of Michael "Del" (2005) and Ann Fitzpatrick, Karen and Gary LeClair and Dennis and Terri Fitzpatrick, brother-in-law to Ron and Noella Truant and loving nephew of Florence and Art Pidruchny. During his life Kerry touched many people through his love of life and family. He had the ability to recognize potential in people and constantly challenged those who he believed could reach beyond their capability and he took great pride in seeing the success that resulted from his direction. Kerry retired from the construction industry in 1997 after being self employed in the asphalt paving business. A private memorial service will be held for family members only following cremation. Friends and family are invited to a celebration of Kerry's life at the Italian American Club located at 39200 Five Mile Road (west of Newburgh Rd.), Livonia, Michigan on Saturday, January 6, 2007 between the hours of 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm. Contributions in Kerry's memory to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or St. John Hospice would be greatly appreciated.
