When I was a Little Boy I became Friends with Frank and since my Father had past away, Mr Fitspatrick (Eddie)treated me like his own, inviting me to alot of family events. He gave me my first job in the chicken house along with Frank.Since then I have met alot of different kind of people in this world But None like Eddie Fitspatrick. It was an honor for me to have known him and knowing him helps make me a Better Man, along with his whole Family who carry a special place in my Heart. My Deepest Sympathies.David
