WILLIAM FITZGERALD MRCVS

Shocked to hear of Willie's passing...only heard it today, 6 weeks later....deepest sympathy to Geraldine and family and Kevin, may he rest in peace....

Geraldine, we only spoke briefly on the phone many years ago as Willie wanted you to hear what a posh englishman sounded like !
i only discovered by chance that he had moved on today and i will never forget the wonderful man.
he stayed with me here in Sussex many years ago not long after our DBR qualification and i still
regale my friends with the tales he told with such great wit and humour.
he was much loved.

My sincere sympathy to Geraldine ,orlaith, meadhbh and Mike on the recent passing of willie like everyone I was shocked to hear of Willie's passing I have been going to ballylanders for near on 30 years to shear the sheep for willie Fitz I always looked forward to the day out in ballylanders as he used to say when I ring beforehand I'll have the team in place ready to go the team would be himself and neddy and the lads! The day would spent listening to the story's about his younger days as a vet he knew every highway and byway around the country he was a man you could have a conversation about any subject be it hurling rugby politics farming! So sad to see you gone willie safe home and fair winds you were a thorough gentleman.

Our sincere sympathies to the Fitzgerald family. Billy was always such a gentleman and a fabulous vet. May he rest in peace.

Sincere sympathy to Geraldine and Family on the death of Willie.

Deepest condolences to Geraldine and all the family on the sad passing of Willie.
Willie was a most intelligent witty well read decent individual.He was also an outstanding vet..Myself (Tom) and himself go back almost 50 years in the vet college.Willie stared out studying dairy science in Cork and then changed to veterinary When he arrived to do first vet he talked the powers that be into giving him a year off because he had covered the ground already.. During that year he went over to London and worked on building sites becoming a fully qualified chippy with papers to proof it Every summer after that he went back to London and looked after any classmates that went over with both jobs and accommodation.He always brought back a Ford Anglia or Cortina and kept driving it until it gave up or was stolen. He was most generous with lifts to his fellow students as there were very few students with cars in the seventies.Subsequently as a vet he was most generous with his time and advice.
The death notice states as gaelige “Nì bhèidh a leithèid ann arís”is an understatement.
May the Legend Willie Fitz rest in peace Amen.

I am deeply shocked to hear of the untimely death of Willie. I knew him in De La Salle Collège, in Waterford from 1966-1971 and remember a lively, friendly impish lad with a great smile and sense of humour that I can still clearly remember over 50 years later. My deepest sympathy to his wife Geraldine and Orlaith, Maedhbh and Mikey and Willie’s extended family. May his kind soul rest in peace.

Sincere sympathy to the Fitzgerald family on the sad passing of Willie. We benefited so much from his visits to our farm, he was an exceptional vet. May he rest in peace.

Heartbroken at the death of Willie. A wonderful friend for over 40 years. What can we say. Willie was one of a kind and a huge loss to all who knew him. A brilliant mind and intellect. After we qualified we worked together at various times. With Willie every farm visit was memorable. A farmer would never forget a call done by Willie.

One of Willie’s great attributes was his generosity of time with his family, friends and clients.

We will always remember that mischievous smile and hearty laugh.

Our prayers and thoughts are with Geraldine, Orlaith, Méadhbh and Michael at this very sad and difficult time.
