GEORGE CALVIN FITZGERALD,  JR.  was born  on  May  29,  1954,  in Baltimore,  Maryland.  He was the son  of George Calvin  Fitzgerald,  Sr.  and Doretha R. Fitzgerald. He was the second of seven siblings.
On April 29, 2024, God saw that the time for his rest was needed.
George,  fondly  called  "FITZ"  was educated  in  the Baltimore City  Public School System.  He graduated  from Forest Park  Senior High  School and  was on the Track and Field team where he excelled in hurdles.
He attended  John  Wesley  United  Methodist Church  with  his family  where he accepted Christ at a young age. He loved the Lord! As a Junior Usher, he served  as President along  with  his siblings.  On  many  Sundays,  the ushers went to  churches to celebrate Usher Anniversaries around Baltimore City. He enjoyed leading the Junior ushers in the Anniversary march.
He was married to Belinda Green, who preceded him in death.
George worked several jobs while in school: caddie at the golf course and a prep-chef. You could always count on George having a job!
He started  working  at Sears as an  auto  mechanic following  behind  his dad. Later,  he was employed  by  Amtrak  Railroad  as a Trackman.  He worked  at Amtrak  until he retired.  He had  a garage where he became self-employed  at JFJ Auto Shop with his buddies, Eric Johnson, and Harold Johnson.
The  proudest  moment  for  him  was  the  birth  of  his  son,  DeLacy.  The  next proudest moment was becoming a granddad to Jordyn.
George loved  to  cook  and  enjoyed  eating,  too! You  would  never think  that because he never gained weight. He would send texts of pictures to his siblings of meals that he prepared.  He made a fantastic 7-Up cake from scratch with the recipe from his mother. Also, he was an excellent housekeeper. He loved sports! His favorite football team was the New York Giants (after the Baltimore Colts left). He loved the Baltimore Ravens, too! He had a hobby of racing cars and  building  engines.  He was an  excellent handyman  for his family,  friends, neighbors,  and  anyone who  needed  him.  His father was known  as "Mr.  Fix It" and  he was just like him,  "Mr.  Fix  It,  Junior".  He took  up  Chess and became "really good" at playing and teaching family and friends how to play. Additionally, George was known for his humor!
He moved to Paris, Pennsylvania for the freedom of the rural environment and open space for his dogs. He especially loved his dog "Toby". He had several friends who were like his "second" family.
Finally, George had the biggest heart and would do anything to help someone!!! Preceding him in death, father, George C. Fitzgerald, Sr., brother, Michael A.
Fitzgerald.
