Fitzy,
Seems like just yesterday we went to chilis to eat and I grabbed the check when you went to the bathroom and came back and we talked for another 1/2 hour you looked and said when is she bringing the check I laughed and told you I already took care of it.
Through all my cancer treatment and everything you were always there and asked for nothing in return. I was in the hospital when I got the news and I cussed Ed up one side and down the other… you got no clue how much you are loved and missed and not a day goes by that when times get tough I don’t sit down and talk to you.
Rest easy put your feet up in heaven and relax you earned it. Ed, Marquel, jay, Hector and the guys and gals all across this world will take it from here…
Love ya fitzy

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,
Abraham Lincoln

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.
There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

It amazes me how many 'wellness programs' have caused the death of so many Brothers and Sisters.
Sgt. Fitzpatrick, I've done 34 years and 8 months so I'm right there with you (this is my current job-40 years total). Brother, you've survived many instances that may have killed the average individual and kept on going, I'm sure of this. You've given your all in so many incidents and events, I find it tragic and somewhat aggravating that something which is meant to keep you healthy is what took you from those who love you most.
Brother, thank you for all the service you gave to this nation both as a Marine and a Police Officer. You sir, are truly a hero. God Bless and may your eternal rest be ever peaceful.
