Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I have never forgotten the wonderful fun times I had at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Tandy Fitts as a child in Roanoke Rapids. Their children, Amy and Walker, welcomed us all over as kids, and their parents were just the nicest people. Amy and Walker, please know that I am thinking of you both during this difficult time, and hope that your faith is sustaining you. Dorothy Dottie Lewis of Raleigh, NC
Walker, Amy, and Brian The years have gone so quickly, but I still remember you as great young people during my days as an assistant principal at RRHS. Know that I am remembering you during this time. –Rodney Nelson, Raleigh NC
I have just gotten word of your loss Debbie and the Fitts family. I am terribly sorry to hear of this and hope the very best for you and the family through this time. Art Moler, Columbia, SC
Amy and Walker, I was saddened by the unexpected news of your father’s death. I worked for Tandy for many years and shared many events in his family life from the time Amy had her head stuck in the fence to searching for just the right stationery for Walker’s first resume. I am sorry I will be unable to be there for the celebration of Tandy’s life but please know that you and your families are in my thoughts and prayers. Judith Spragins Clary
DEBBIE, MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU. ELIZABETH FITZGERALD
