Longtime horseman Milton Fitzgerald of Brechin, Ont. passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving children on Nov. 8, 2022 after a lengthy battle with congestive heart failure at the age of 84.
Milton was predeceased by his beautiful wife Grace Fitzgerald, who passed away in April of this year of cancer. He is survived by his children Robert, John and Della as well as six grandchildren Justin, Skye, Weston, Heather, Jade, and Brandi and three great grandchildren Lily, Trace, and Aubree.
Milton's love for harness racing was only matched by his love for fishing but his true joy came from his family. Seeing his children grow to have children of their own brought him his greatest joy.
He was a kind, fun-loving man who will be greatly missed by his family and many friends.
