Frederic FitzSimmons
IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Frederic FitzSimmons
September 6, 1927 - May 2, 2016
FRANKLIN - Frederic J FitzSimmons of Franklin, Vermont passed away peacefully on
May 2, 2016 with his family at his side.
He was born in Dorchester, MA on September 6, 1927. He was the son of Julia Coveney FitzSimmons and Edward Joseph FitzSimmons. He is predeceased by his sisters Marie McFadden, and Joan Stinson, his brothers Richard Seton FitzSimmons, Paul FitzSimmons, and
his granddaughter Julia Eldora FitzSimmons.
He is survived by his loving wife, Audrey Vivian FitzSimmons of Franklin VT, his sister Celestine Gookin of Norton, Massachusetts and his nine children. Susan and Dan Burns of Enosburg, VT Carol and Richard Fontina of Mars Hill, Maine, Michael and Jane FitzSimmons of Brockton, MA, Ann and William Tucker of Middleboro, MA, James FitzSimmons and his partner Lisa Wong of West Bridgewater, MA, Joseph and Jennifer FitzSimmons of Swanton, VT, Julia FitzSimmons Chartier of Northampton, MA, Janet and Paul Wells of Enosburg, VT, and Mary FitzSimmons and her friend Rick Bence of Swansea, MA. He was also was the proud Grandpa of 37 grandchildren and 32 great grandchildren as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins that he has faithfully kept in touch with.
He entered the Marines at the age of 16 and served his country in World War Two in the occupation of Japan in Chi Chi Jima. He was in the 1st Battalion, 3rd Regiment of the USMC. He was honorably discharged on August 21, 1946.
Daddy married Audrey Baker on July 7, 1950 and they have enjoyed 65 years together. They spent their early years raising their family in Brockton, MA and retired to Franklin, VT in 1990.
He was a member of Local #276 Plumbers and Pipe Fitters of Brockton, MA where he was a Steamfitter for his working years. He was also a member of Local #51 of Providence RI.
Daddy’s character can only be described as strong, brutally honest, lover of family and his country, polite at all times but, at the same time able to be forthright and stand up for any injustice.
He loved his country and proudly flew the US flag outside his home on the flag pole he
made himself out of polished steel.
Family always came first to Daddy. He and Mama hosted Sunday dinner for anyone who could come, through all the years of their married life. That’s a lot of roast beef dinners! It was always the safest and happiest gathering place for all of us.
Daddy was an avid reader, lover of the Boston Herald newspaper, politics, the New England Patriots and FOX news. He enjoyed gardening, and planting trees. The trees surrounding his Franklin home were planted as saplings in the early 1990’s and he had the privilege of seeing them mature to lofty heights. He was a staunch Republican and a member of the NRA and the Heritage Foundation.
He and his wife enjoyed many trips with his fellow war Veterans travelling to Gettysburg, PA., and Washington DC, spending time together and honoring their fallen comrades.
This was very important to him.
For the last weeks of his life as he adjusted to the reality of his diagnosis and the time he had left, he demonstrated tremendous humility, strength and grace. Letting his nine children and extended family care for him. He was never without a smile for each of us.
He continued to be his witty and playful self, surprising us with his keen sense of all that was going on.
So much so that we were able to laugh and cry with him.
We even enjoyed writing down all the funny things he said which we will fondly refer to as “Fredisms!”
Most importantly, we would like to share that after Daddy received a visit from a priest at UVM Medical Center, he was able to say that he was in a “state of grace with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and that it felt like Christmas”. He was at peace with God, his face visibly displaying serenity and happiness.
Funeral Services will be held Saturday, May 7, 2016 at 11:00 AM the East Franklin Union Church, 4610 Lake Road/Vermont Route 120, East Franklin with Rev. Jason McConnell officiating. Interment with Military Honors will follow in the East Franklin Cemetery.
Visiting hours will be held Friday from 5-8 PM at the Spears Funeral Home, 96 Dickinson Ave., Enosburg Falls.
For those who wish, contributions in Fred’s memory may be made to the Franklin County Home Health Agency – Hospice Program, 3 Home Health Circle, St. Albans, VT 05478.

God's Garden
God looked around his garden
And found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering,
He knew that you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered “Peace be thine.”
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone…
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
And found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering,
He knew that you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered “Peace be thine.”
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone…
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

Footprints
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along
the beach with Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand,
One belonged to him and the other to the Lord.
He dreamed he was walking along
the beach with Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand,
One belonged to him and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
He looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life,
there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed
that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
He looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life,
there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed
that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him, and he questioned the Lord about it.
“Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
You’d walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome
times of my life, there is only one set of footprints.
I don’t understand why, when I needed
You most, You would leave me.”
“Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
You’d walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome
times of my life, there is only one set of footprints.
I don’t understand why, when I needed
You most, You would leave me.”
The LORD replied, “My precious, precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
When you see only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you.”
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
When you see only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you.”

Susan F. Love
In Loving Memory of
Susan F. (Geddes) Love
February 13, 1942 ~ July 27, 2015 (age 73)
Susan F. (Geddes) Love, age 73 years, of Stoughton, peacefully passed away unexpectedly surrounded by family and beloved friends on Monday July 27, 2015.
Raised in Hingham, the daughter of the late Dorothy (Campbell) Geddes and H. Paul Geddes Sr., sister of H. Paul Geddes Jr. (Natick, MA) and niece of the late Jean Campbell, Mary Elizabeth Campbell and Raymond F. Campbell. A graduate of Hingham High School, Susan attended The Chandler School for Women in Boston and pursued a career in office administration. Soon after graduation, Susan married Robert Bruce Love (Weymouth, MA) and raised their family of four children in Stoughton: Merideth Scott Love (Hull, MA), Matthew Ryan Love (Weymouth, MA), Robert Sean Love (Nantucket, MA), and Michael Thor Love (New York, NY).
Blessed with an immense heart, a warm, caring, engaging personality, and a beautiful "gift to gab", she made friends wherever she went. She enjoyed the ocean and loved visiting her daughter Merideth and soon to be son in-law Jeffrey Shaheen, and "Grand Dog" Cisco at Nantasket Beach. She also regularly enjoyed visiting her son Sean and girlfriend Shannon and her "Grand Dog" Cash on Nantucket Island. Susan was fortunate to have enjoyed world travel with her daughter and friends. Constantly surrounded by family and friends, she shared her caring ways, nurturing soul, and loving heart. Susan was a spit fire. Bursting with energy, full of life, she loved to be around people. She was a straight shooter, as honest as it gets. She was full of laughter, and hilarious to those who knew her. She had a way to laugh it off and move on with her day. She exemplified the true meaning of unconditional love. We have lost an amazing person, but have gained an angel.
She was awesome!
A wake will be held in her honor on Friday July 31, 2015 from 4 - 8 P.M. in The Sheehan, Lowe & Powers Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 115 Monk St.,Stoughton.

A new dog never replaces an old dog,
It merely expands the heart.

We are devastated by losing you so soon.

Americo "Rico" Poliseno
Americo
"Rico" Poliseno, builder and owner of The Englewood Resort in West
Yarmouth since 1964, passed away at home after a courageous fight with his
illness.
He was born in Brockton on March 5, 1923, to Amato and Emilia
Poliseno. After graduating from Brockton High School he served with the Army
during World War II, from 1941 to 1945, and was with the 1st Battery of
Rangers. He served on a front in Africa and in the Invasion of Anzio. Rico's
unit received Meritorious Service Unit Citations. Rico had a deep love for his
country and proudly wore his World War II cap. Rico was admired for his open
and generous heart and amazing ability to work.
He was the beloved husband of Janice (Sis) Poliseno for 37
years. He is survived by his son, Ronald Poliseno and his wife Ann of Brockton.
He is predeceased by his son, William Poliseno; their late mother; his
brothers, Saverio (Sammy) Amundo; and sister, Gloria. Rico is survived by his
sister, Rose Piver; his brothers, Carmen and his wife Theresa, Roland and his
wife Jeanne, and Albert and his wife Page; his stepchildren, Dianna Hildredth
and her husband Jeffrey, Robert and his wife Mary, Michael and his wife Lynne,
and David Silva. He loved and enjoyed all his grandchildren,
great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and all the families and friends who
came to The Englewood year after year.
Rico could always be found working on the roof of The Englewood
or fearlessly hanging from a ladder, repairing whatever had to done. Rico was a
man of his word who accepted a strong handshake as commitment to his word. Rico
had a quick wit and an infectious smile that impacted everyone he met. Rico was
a sensitive and generous man and this inspired his close friends, all dressed
in festive Christmas attire, to sing Christmas carols to him outside his room
on a cold wintery night.
Rico was a talented baseball player who played shortstop. Rico
played for the Old Colony League, St. Coleman's, and later, the Braga Club. He
played in the City League for the Blue Eagles Social Club for many years, and
was a member of the American Legion and the Blue Eagles Social Club. He owned
Drew Tanning of Brockton.
As a builder, Rico built many fine homes in Brockton and on Cape
Cod. After the tragic fire of the Grand Old Englewood Hotel in West Yarmouth,
Rico built The Englewood Hotel and Motor Inn and always operated it as a
"Ma & Pa" operation.
In 1980, Rico and Sis moved ahead into the future by renovating
the property into condominiums. Rico served on the oversight committee for the
town of Yarmouth for many years, and was a well-known visitor to town hall.
Rico has stayed close to his many friends in the Brockton area
and has a legion of friends on Cape Cod. Rico and Sis have been active and
devoted members of St. Francis Xavier Parish, serving on many committees. His
death has made strong men cry. He will be greatly missed by all.

the Doane, Beal and Ames Funeral Home, 160 W. Main St., Hyannis. A Mass of

A Better Place....
Right now I'm in a better place,
and though we seem apart,
I'm closer than I ever was...
I'm there inside your heart.
I'm with you when you greet each day
and while the sun shines bright.
I'm there to share the sunsets too...
I'm with you every night.
The rainy days that we endured,
the joyful times we shared--
Just look inside your loving heart,
and you will find me there.
And when that day arrives
that we are no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me...
forever in my heart.
