In Savannah, Georgia, a man named Edward A. Fitzgerald III, passed away at the age of 66 on November 15, 2016. His death followed a difficult four-year battle with Alzheimer's disease. A native of Savannah, he was born to Edward A. 'Bubba' Fitzgerald Jr. and Ethel Lavinia King Fitzgerald.
Edward's life was deeply rooted in the coastal city. He began his career as a tugboat captain navigating the waters of the Savannah River. Over the years, he explored other professions but eventually returned to a familiar maritime environment, retiring after many years of dedicated service with the Savannah Bar Pilot Association. His love for the water was a constant throughout his life and was one of his most cherished pastimes.
Beyond his professional life, Edward was a man of many interests. He found enjoyment in spending time at the gun range and took pleasure in taking rides in his ERA Cobra. However, his greatest joy came from the time he spent with his wife of 36 years, Mary J. Fitzgerald, and their son. He was a loving husband, father, brother, and son who left behind a legacy of devotion to his family.
