Broadcaster/Golfer Dennis Fitz-Gerald speaking “I loved the media world, television in particular. The 60’s, 70’s, 80’s , what a wonderful time to be in the Mad Men ‘Business’. Montreal Gazette, Globe and Mail, All-Canada Radio and Television, CTV and City TV/Much Music. It couldn’t have been any better! I’ve had a wonderful family and group of friends in business and on the golf course to spend my life with. I’ll be waiting for you on the other side with my clubs and a bottle of scotch. Don’t rush because I’ll be catching up with old friends like Gary and Henry, and family including my Mom and Dad, sister Marge and my beloved first wife Jean. I’ve had an incredible life and I thank all of you for being a part of it. I’ll be leaving behind Dorothy my loving wife of 21 years, my amazing children Tom and Kelly of whom I am so very proud, and my five grandchildren Daniel, Ben, Paul, Patrick and Megan.
Please don’t think of me being gone. Just as when you’d see me walking off the 18th green, after I was out of sight I wasn’t gone. I’m just heading off to another round at another glorious course. I don’t want a service or a memorial. I just want all of you to raise a glass, or a bent putter, and remember the wonderful times we shared together. Cheers to you my friends, until we meet again.”
A private family gathering will be held at a later date.
If you are so inclined, donations can be made to the Salvation Army or your preferred charity.

Very sad to learn about Mr. Fitz-Gerald’s passing. My Dad, Gary Buss, and he were great friends and I am glad that they are together again. I think I hear more laughing and cursing with playing cards flying in the air.
