Obituary of Leonard James Fitzgerald

Leonard passed away unexpectedly July 3, 2021, while visiting family and friends in his hometown of Smith Falls, Ontario at the youthful age of 73. Born in March, 1948, Len was eldest son of James Anthony Fitzgerald and Dorothy Marie Harrison.
Leonard now joins his wife Barbara of 44 years in eternal peace. Len is survived by his children: Andrea (Robert), Jamie (Wayne) and Codi (Michel), grandchildren: Raylene, Isaiah, John (Lisa), Amanda (Paul) and Jolene, great- grandchildren: Jordan, Lily, Liam, Leif, Zoey, John Wayne, and Handsome Jack.

Len’s joyful optimism could be seen by all who knew him and that passion for life led him to many great adventures! A wise and strong leader to both his families in Alberta and Ontario and a loyal comrade to his trucking and biker family. He was a nature lover and had a soft spot for his dog Bella and all his children’s pets.
