ESSEX JUNCTION â For many years, the voicemail message of one Essex Junction resident went like this: You ve reached John FitzGerald. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Thank you.
FitzGerald, a nearly 50-year Village resident and man known for his generous service to the community, turned 90 years-old Wednesday.
His children and friends are throwing him a party this Saturday, so family and neighbors can show him their love and gratitude.
âHe always said the town was going to educate eight of his children, so he got very involved with town politics,â his only daughter, Kathy, said. âHeâs a man of principle.â
