Hello to all, One of our own, Mike FitzPatrick passed away yesterday morning from a heart attack, I was notified today by Roberta his wife, and I'm passing it on to all who knew him. He was an avid Luger and P.38 collector, but more then that, a true gentleman, and also with me, a true friend... his funeral is tomorrow, but I have no further details... He was a retired fireman, and I'm 100% sure he's now with God.... til...lat'r....Gerry

GT, I had tried to get ahold of Mike the last couple of years, we started a friendship with his Simson and he kinda disappeared. I wish i had known you guys knew each other, as him and I traded emails and jokes in 2006 and 2007.

Tell Roberta, I am sorry for her loss.

Hi to all, Thanks guys for remembering Mike, I don't think he posted so much as probably emailed most of us off the forum, I know he had roots here, and enjoyed all facets of WW2 pistol collecting.. I think he was a few years older than I, but not for sure...I have asked Roberta for more info and hopefully I will be able to post more as it unfolds.. his funeral is tomorrow, but you would have to research for anything further, his home town is: LEONIA, NJ ... best to all, til...lat'r...GT
