Dear family of Joseph Fittipaldi,

I have very fond memories of Mr. Fittipaldi. Who could have grown up on Shelton St. and not think of him and his wonderful sense of humor and enthusiasm. The Fouth of July was always fun because of him. He was a man of faith, and always set a good example for us. He was truely one of the "greatest generation." The Sulkovsky family was truely blessed to have know him.
