In Memoriam: Longtime Little Silver Resident, U.S. Navy Vet, Roger Fitzsimmons, 91

“To his friends and family, Roger was known for his quick wit and great jokes. You could tell one was coming when he would get a little twinkle in his eye and start elbowing the person next to him while winking. His ability to tell stories and jokes to the young and old of the family was a special talent. It often left you with his infectious laughter ringing in your ears and a new understanding of the phrase ‘when Irish eyes are smiling.'” ~ family of Roger Fitzsimmons
