Burial Notes (Husband)
Balcom Cemetery
General Notes (Husband)
John Fitzgerald, 69, community activist John Howard Fitzgerald once
rode his bicycle from Lansing to Niagara Falls. Fitzgerald, 69, once
an active member of various community groups in Lansing and other
Michigan cities, died Tuesday in Cadillac. 'He was quite and
organizer,' recalls his wife, Velma, who said Fitzgerald formed a boat
club in Kalamazoo and the Young Married Couples Club of the Lansing YMCA.
Fitzgerald joined the Oldsmobile Division's engineering department in
1933, right after graduating from high school. 'He started out his
life with very little,' his wife said. 'He educated himself.' During
World War II, Fitzgerald was loaned to an aviation company to design
aircraft. He left Olds in 1946 to join Checker Motors in Kalamazoo. He
later worked for the A.O.Smith Corp. in Ionia and the Mitchell Corp. in
Ionia and Cadillac. He did consulting work after retiring in 1977.
While in Lansing, Fitzgerald was on the board of deacons of First Baptist
Church. He was also active in the Masonic Lodge and the Elks.
Fitzgerald is survived by one son, one daughter, one brother, one sister
and five grandchildren.
