Mr Fizgerald (Practical Sign Shop Operation & Neon In The Commercial Shop) passed away several years ago. Did anyone from the Manasquan NJ area take over his business or did it just fade away.
How bout it anybody from NJ, please advise

While I don't actually know the current status, the last time I visited Bob and Helen, he planned to just fade away. He felt at the time that since he had built up a particular business and clientele, no one could take over and keep his legacy alive. He had been scaling back for many years but I was so pleased that in the last 10 years of his life, he actually became involved in Letterheads. In that way, he got a sense of how revered he was.

Hope someone knows what the status of his shop is. I was the best laid out I have ever seen with their residence behind too.
