My memories of our beloved Dan are here with me as I write this. I have two photographs of Dan and I hosting a "Breakfast at Richard's" at the Midway Mall and another at the Hollywood Fashion Center. As the Manager of several Richard's I had the opportunity to work with Dan and including the Miss Teenage Miami contest, modeled Wembley Ties for Dan and the Miami Merchandise Mart and also helped with promotions in the 163rd street store, Lauderhill, West Palm Beach, Hollywood, Midway Mall and our main store in Downtown Miami. What a joy Dan was to work with. Always a smile on his face, nothing ever too difficult, giving credit to everyone except himself, a sense of humor and a love for life that rubbed off on all those he worked with. "Some people come into our lives and go while others leave footprints on our hearts and we are never, ever, the same". That was Dan Fitzgerald. Thanks for the memories Dan.

I just leaned of Danny's passing. I fear the worst when I hadn't heard from him in a long time. We worked together for so many years writing, directing, acting, and singing, in the "UP YOUR ADS" advertising scholarship benefit shows. He was one in a billion. His Irish Eyes are smiling now in a better place. I'm so glad to have been able to share my mountain photography with Danny for so many years. I know he was buoyed by the beauty of the Mountains. His passing is a loss for so many... I miss his joviality.

Sorry to hear about the passing of a dear friend. I was the manager of the Richard's Department Store in the Midway Mall in Hialeah back in those days Dan when was hosting "Breakfast at Richards." I appeared on several of his one half hour morning shows being interviewed and talking with the audiences. Dan was always such a joyful and easy going person who was so genial with everyone in came in contact. I am so fortunate to have been able to spend time with Dan and so thankful that I knew him. God Bless you Dan.

My heart goes out to you in the loss of your Dad. I remember auditioning with him through the years and seeing him and the Hang at PAAF Meetings. My fondest memory was working with him in the film RIPPLES in which he played my boss. Heaven is surely Richer with Dan...

Runway fashion shows starting in the late 70s at Westland Mall where I was markeing director. Dan was The Best! On to The Falls, then Dadeland where Dan brought forth his talents and helped showcase South Florida's finest retailers! Happy memories celebrating our mutual success over margaritas at El Torito! Those were the days, my friend. Will miss you. Heaven just gained a wonderful Irish tenor! Phyllis W.

I am very sad to hear that my good friend Dan has passed. So many great times we had. From working on sets as actors, to live performances and making the south Florida's acting community a better place through The Professional Actors Association Of Florida. Dan always watched after me. I am honored and blessed to have had Dan as a part of my life.

Dan was a true gentleman and entertainer. Remember Dan as emcee for all our Emerald Society festivals, parties, socials...he always demonstrated the gift of gab or "Irish blarney". Will miss him.

Dan was one of the kindest and gentlest of men. He was always so happy when he came into the office for a Board Meeting. He loved children and participated in Bookpals for many years. He will be truly missed.
