Years ago we became very close friends. Your love of music, poetry, hockey, cooking/dining, beaches, faith, and family were all so important to you! We have to say goodbye to a special person that gave so much as a father, husband, grandfather, uncle, brother, and friend. Kevin, may you rest peacefully and be in no more pain. Heaven is receiving a great chef and all will miss your sense of humor and sensitive nature. I am so sorry for another major loss to the Firzgibbon family.

I grew up with Kevin on Maplecrest in Newmarket, NH. Kevin was a great friend. We got involved with H.O. scale slot car racing together. We played baseball together from Shea's backyard to little league. Winter sliding on Pigeon Hill. Playing drums was a passion with both of us. Kevin had a great feel for music-- we both shared the same likes. He introduced me to great bands like Bad Company, Queen, and numerous other great hall of fame bands. The news of Kevin's passing did a lot of damage to my little world. Corinne and I send out our condolences to the family, and say farewell to a great person and friend.
You, my friend, are already greatly missed! Fitzy, rest in peace, my brother. Bob Kartaszewicz

Gibby and I shared many happy memories while at STA. Over the years, my husband and I never knew when and where he´d pop up to say hi. I will miss him and his great smile. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Fitz was my friend from all the way back to the early 70’s. Too many good and fond memories to share. I will miss him and when I think of him it will be with a smile.
