Mark Fitzsimmons was a kind and generous soul who I met in 7th grade while attending Longfellow Jr. HS.   Mark didn't graduate from West, but from Brookfield HS since his family moved there at the start of his senior year,

Until Mark's death, we remained best friends.  Not a better father, husband, worker, and man than Mark.   Our prayers go to him, his family and all that knew and loved him.
