IN MEMORY OF PAUL DAVID FITZPATRICK
PAUL DAVID FITZPATRICK, 72, of South Point, Ohio, passed away Wednesday, May 1, 2013. The world has lost a great man, a simple man filled with pride and honesty. Dave was best known to be a hard-working, tell-it-like-it-is kind of man who immediately gained the respect of anyone in his presence. He had a great sense of humor and always knew how to handle any situation. He was always proud of his family name, Fitzpatrick, and because of him, that pride will forever live on and be cherished. Dave was a carpenter by trade, but dirt track racing was his passion.
