  5. Alice and Tommy,Wishing you peace and prayers following “Umpy’s” passing. It’s so difficult to have lost both parents- we have become orphans in our sixties.

    Funny story: Bill took Connor with him to Umpy’s one day. Your dad showed Connor how he used a launching device in his junk yard – they broke a window. Connor was so impressed that when Bill and Umpy wandered off- he launched a few more – right through the window of and antique truck.
    Prayers,
    Marsha and Bill Fitzgerald
