WOLCOTT – Harry (Butch) Kress Fitzgerald Jr. passed away on May 13, 2021, with his loving wife, Christine (Galullo), and his daughter, Kelly Mazza, by his side.
Butch and Chris recently celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary and enjoyed many wonderful adventures together. Butch was a caring and dedicated father to Kelly and she could not feel more blessed to have been his little girl. He appreciated having such a caring son-in-law in Nicholas Mazza, whom he embraced as his very own.
Butch held many “titles” throughout his lifetime including son, brother, husband, father, soldier, volunteer, and friend but the one he loved and treasured most of all was “Pop.” He adored his grandchildren, Ethan and Emersyn, and was so incredibly proud of them and their accomplishments. They were his greatest joy and they will always remember their Pop for his silly jokes, witty come backs, and funny stories.
