Robert James Fitzgerald

May 28, 1955 - August 25, 2020

Robert "Bob" James Fitzgerald passed away with family present on August 25, 2020 in Charleston, South Carolina. Robert was born May 28, 1955 in Clarks Summit, PA. He was an avid and gifted golfer; playing at the collegiate level at Kings College, where he graduated with a Bachelors degree in 1978. He chose a lifelong career in the finance industry. Robert will live on in our hearts and his memory will be kept alive by his loving wife and partner of forty years - Pamela Fitzgerald; children - Erin Fitzgerald, Ryan Fitzgerald, Robbie Fitzgerald, Kaitlin (Andrew) Gates, Ashley Fitzgerald; and grandchildren - Grant Fitzgerald and Jack Gates. Robert loved spending time with his family telling stories and watching sports; especially Notre Dame football. He loved horse racing, golfing with family and friends, and was a man of great Catholic faith. He enjoyed attending mass every Sunday and was always praying for those around him. The amount of love Robert had for his family was indescribable and he fought until the very end to be with them. Robert was a loving husband and father and will be missed dearly. He would always say, “Never say bye, say see ya!” We look forward to seeing him again someday but for now: "May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hands.” - Irish Blessing There will be a private funeral service on September 1, 2020. Thoughts and prayers during this time are greatly appreciated. If you would like, please donate to St. Jude in honor of Robert, which was his favorite patron saint.
