My sincere sympathy to the family. I´ll always remember Bob and my Bill directing parking at St. Paul´s for Christmas Mass. All his involvement supporting St. Paul´s, he was truly a blessing to the church and Irish community. A good family man we all looked up to. He lived a blest life, and now gets to join Corrine. I´m glad they are together again, they made a splendid team. Again, my sincere sympathy.

My deepest sympathies to the Fitzgerald family on the passing of a great man who was truly loved.
Bob was a good friend to my mother and I always had so much fun with the two of them when I was in Cleveland for the parade.
March 17th won´t be the same without Bob Fitzgerald!
Rest In Peace Bob.

We are very sorry for your loss. Your Dad was a blessing to all of you and to so many others! We enjoyed his Christmas Letters and his thoughtful and caring personality! He was so fortunate to have all his kids close to him and caring for him all these years :) To all the family we want you to know what a beautiful tribute you have given your dad at the Visitation tonight, and we are sure the Mass will be the same. We are keeping all of you in our prayers and remember this is not good bye but just so long till we meet again!
