Mr. Fitzhenry, It was always so nice to see you when you visited Heather at WFSU. I will always remember when you allowed me to dock your beloved sailboat in Clearwater. That was a huge sign of approval for my budding sailing skills. I know you will pray for us as we continue our earthly journey.... until we meet again. Love, ellen

My heart goes out to all of you Fitzhenry's. A big hug to Aunt Pat. I can imagine Frank entered the pearly gates and saw a big huge sign that said Fitzhenry's Pub and there was all the gang with a shot and a beer waiting for him! My thoughts, prayers and love to all of you.❤

Sharon and I are very saddened to hear of Frank's passing. Over the years we enjoyed sailing and cruising the West Coast of Florida with him and wife Pattie with our sailboats. We also shared time together on cruise ships to exotic locations in the Bahamas.

When they left Safety Harbor Florida to live in Texas we have kept in touch with frequent phone calls.

We will miss Frank. Our heartfelt condolences to Pattie and his children and grandchildren.

Love,

Dick and Sharon Greenhalgh
