Jack Fitzgerald was not only a great businessman but also a true partner in building a stronger, safer Montgomery County. His work on child safety wasn’t for show; it was personal, and it made a real difference. Thanks to his initiative, more than 52,000 families received critical help installing child safety seats correctly—an effort that undoubtedly saved lives. 

Jack also stood up when it mattered. During the General Motors and Chrysler bankruptcies, when dealerships across the country were shuttering, Jack fought to restore what others had given up on. He believed in people, workers and fairness. 

In 2023, he put his values into action by transitioning Fitzgerald Auto Malls to a 100% employee-owned company. That’s a legacy that empowers working people and keeps opportunity rooted right here in our community. 

Jack was someone who used his success to lift others up. His impact will be felt for generations.
