FITZGERALD, John Clare  -
1943 - 2024

After a lengthy illness, at Lakeshore Lodge, John left us on July 26th, 2024.

He was the older twin son of the late Maurice and Catherine (Hunter) Fitzgerald; and late twin brother, James of Thunder Bay, Ontario.

He leaves his beloved wife, Jacqueline (nee Harris); his son, Andrew; daughter, Julie (Evan) Coakwell; and grandchildren, Liam, Ava, and Owen.

Also mourning his loss are sisters-in-law, Irene Gaudet (late Hector), Bernice Harris, and Elizabeth Johnstone (Bruce). He also leaves several cousins in Thunder Bay and Western Canada.

He was born in Geraldton, Ontario, where he spent his early years and then his teen years in Shefferville, Quebec. After Radio College in Toronto, he spent a few years repairing phone lines along the DEW LINE in Northern Ontario. In 1966, he joined IBM and spent 25 years repairing and maintaining large computer systems in Toronto.

After early retirement, he spent his time investing and making wine.

No service or memorial is planned. Memorial donations to Autism Ontario or the Star Fresh Air Fund would be appreciated.

His spirit is now free to roam the forests of his youth
