Hershey had an incredible devotion to my daughter Tyler Michelle Fitzgibbons. He gave her a Disney credit card and she was allotted an amount Per month. Hershey and I collaborated together to make sure she’s stuck with the rules. She did great! And Hershey and I felt so proud of Tyler!

I will be forever grateful to him for that amazing support! And love💖

My grandfather is the reason I am who I am today. I will now and forever love him beyond words. While no longer on this earth, I know his presence will remain with me always. For now, I will miss his cackling laugh, listening to him play the piano, sharing a love of old movies, discussing history books, eating Domino’s, singing Judy Garland songs together, playing monopoly & poker , and so much more. I’ll find you somewhere over the rainbow, Grandpa.
