Beloved husband of the late Elizabeth Conroy (who passed away November 2014), loving father of Frank Jr. and his wife Sue of Kirkland. Very proud grandfather of Frank (Jess) and Eric (Kelly). Sweet and gentle Great-Grandfather of Musa, Maryam, Hannah, Aisha, and Taia. Dear brother of the late Paddy and Eddie Fitzgerald, and of brother Tommy with whom he visited a month ago. Frank will also be remembered by many loving sister in laws, nieces, nephews, and of course the many friends he made while working at Nortel, in Mississauga, Peterborough, and at his short stay at Manoir Kirkland.
Frank always enjoyed people, had a hearty laugh, and although he was renowned for his great boxing skills, awards, and accomplishments, he truly was a gentle and soft soul. He would always make you feel like he cared about what you had to say, he listened intently and carried a conversation very easily, and he seemed to radiate fun. He was an easy man to love.
Frank (Frankie) Fitzgerald has been cremated and will have a short visitation to be held at Collins Clarke funeral home (222 autoroute 20, Pointe Claire) on Saturday September 12th from 11:00 am until 1:00 pm, with a service to be held afterwards in the adjacent chapel. For people out of town, there will be a link provided so that you may watch the service online on your computer.
In lieu of flowers, I will be asking people to make donations to a wonderful charity :The “SIAN BRADWELL FUND" to help children and their families stricken with Cancer (HTTP://SIANBRADWELL.COM).
Dad, you were my best fishing buddy. We will all miss your gentle soul and your hearty smile.
