EDWARD HENRY FITZPATRICK
Edward Henry Fitzpatrick died peacefully at home surrounded by his wife and kids at 4:28 p.m. on Friday afternoon, February 17, 2006. He had battled primarily with cardiopulmonary disease for the past 25 years.
He was 83. Ed was born in Saskatchewan, Canada, on March 1, 1922, to Joseph and Helena Fitzpatrick.
His siblings were Les, Bob, Joe, John, Hugh, Jim and Leo, and Rose and Helen. He would say his family didn't have much in the way of money, but they had each other.
Schools attended by Ed in Aberdeen were St. Mary's School and Weatherwax High School.
In high school, Ed was involved in many school activities and especially enjoyed being on the track team. He held a state record in the pole vault for many years.
He also had fond memories of attending a junior college in Sacramento, Calif.
A veteran of the United States Army, Ed told many stories about being stationed in the hot and humid Philippines towards the end of World War II. He was proud that he and all seven of his brothers served during the war.
Ed met Dolores Rapsch in 1945, and they were married
on November 28, 1947, at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Aberdeen.
Ed and Dolores were married
for 58 years. They lived in the same home at 108 W. First in Aberdeen for 20 years.
Because of the beginnings of his long respiratory illness, Ed and Dolores moved out of their home and settled in Sequim in 1983.
He always provided well for his family. He was a Longshoremen for 25 years, primarily in Aberdeen, before retiring after the last few in Port Angeles.
Ed enjoyed his work and was greatly admired and respected by his fellow workers.
When Ed had time, he greatly enjoyed playing golf with his Longshore friends after work and played in tournaments.
He was an expert razor clam digger. Great cook.
He greatly appreciated being in nature, whether standing on the beaches at Westport or Ocean Shores, walking on an old logging road, or admiring the view from his recliner looking out the window in his home in Sequim.
While he lived in Sequim, Ed developed an intimate familiarity with Sequim's back roads during his daily two-plus mile walks.
Along all of his walks, Ed would wave and say hello to everyone who came his way, whether they were also walking or driving past him.
And as a volunteer for Volunteer Chore Services for about 15 years, he enjoyed becoming acquainted with people from all walks of life whom he drove to medical appointments from the Olympic Peninsula to Seattle and back.
Quotes from Ed's 10 kids: ``Generous and funny Irishman, feels for me as I feel for him, showed love through his actions, man of integrity, I've been given something to pass down to my sons and daughters, made time for us, always joking around with us, always tried to see the best side in us and everyone else, most honorable person I knew, built great fires in the fireplace, my hero, never met a finer man in my life than Dad."
Survivors include Ed's wife, Dolores, of Sequim; daughters Susan of Texas, Janice of Alaska, and Barbara, Molly and Rosann of Washington; sons David and Les of Washington, Steve of Arizona, John of Kentucky and Ed Jr. of Alaska; siblings Helen of Alaska, Les of Washington and Bob of Idaho.
Grandkids and great grandkids, 32; nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws, too numerous to count.
Services: At Ed's and Dolores' request, there are no formal services.
Memorials: (We could not have done it so well without them) Hospice of Clallam County, P.O. Box 2014, Port Angeles, WA 98362.
