Maurice J. Fitzgerald passed into the Lord’s hands on July 13, 2018. He was born and raised in Yonkers, NY and married the love of his life Constance Byrnes on October 25, 1952. Together they raised five children while he worked at Otis Elevators for forty years.
He is survived by his wife Constance, his sons Robert(Theresa) and Kevin, and his daughters Nancy(Philip), Kathleen(Brian), and Ellen(William). “Moe” loved his family and spent many happy hours with them and his grandchildren Colleen(Meisha), James(Jennifer), Brian(Erin), Matthew, Conor, Erin, and Sean. He has two great-grandchildren, Cailin and Delaney with another on the way. Moe loved his NY Giants and his Mets through thick and thin… mostly thin. He could work a room and tell a joke like nobody else. The sound of his exuberant laughter will forever be in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. Moe was a true Irishman. His departure will leave a tremendous gap in his loving family.
Godspeed and save us all a seat when you get to Heaven. “Write your mother in Ireland!”
