I think we first met Bill in 1984 when our son Scott was a freshman at Columbia High School. Bill encouraged Sue and me to become involved in the parents’ group that supported the athletic program. He and I would travel to Newark to pick up hot dogs and soda which we sold during the football games. Through him I was able to get a field pass from AD Curcio so I could take game photos. He enjoyed life, loved his family and showed remarkable resilience and courage as he dealt with challenging health issues. Sometimes he was vocal and direct, but his energy and enthusiasm were infectious. He was genuine and we will miss him.

I am greatly saddened by the passing of Mr. Fitz. He and Mrs. Fitz were always our best baseball fans. From rec leagues through Columbia's GNT champsionship in '86 they were always there. I was also very blessed to have them as neighbors in Basking Ridge. They were always there in a pinch if I needed anything. He will be incredibely missed. Have comfort that my parents are greeting him in heaven now.
