Fitzgerald, Bob, age 68, - First in 911 Emergency - When Bob Fitzgerald and his boss decided to beat the competition to the punch and produce the first emergency phone system in February 1968, his wife said neither of the men knew the direction their work would take.
"It was just a competitive thing to beat the company that announced they were going to be first", his wife Reba, said. Mr. Fitzgerald, a resident of Winter Haven, FL for nearly five years, died Saturday, June 30, 2001 of heart failure. He was 69.
Mr. Fitzgerald and his boss, Bob Gallagher, were up against AT&T, which had announced plans to build the first 911 emergency phone system.
Mr. Fitzgerald's determination and success are things he was known for throughout the rest of his life.
He was born in Wauwatoso Township, Wis., on October 18, 1932. He worked as a state inside-plant manager at Alabama Telephone Co., a subsidiary of Continental Telephone, when he and Gallagher decided to make the first emergency phone system. He designed the circuitry for the first model. His family lived in Knoxville during the 70's and 80's, employed by Continental Telephone. His wife said the telephone business was a large part of his life, but family always came first.
When the emergency system took off, his wife said, he never credited himself, only saying he worked on the system. "He worked day and night to be the first in 911", she said. "He designed it, engineered it and went back into the room and worked with his men on it. That was before Alabama Telephone was union, therefore he was allowed to work along with his staff.
She said he liked the advances that were made in the system he built, but he did not like it when phone companies charged people for the service. "The first charge he saw was 50 cents, " she said. He used the system twice, she said, and was happy with the way things were going with it.
Mr. Fitzgerald was in management at Northern Telecom in Durham, NC, before retiring. Reba Fitzgerald said she remembered the time of his work on the emergency system as a "real history-making era of time".
The Navy veteran who served during the Korean War was a member of the Charles Baskerville Lodge No. 281 in Fayette, Ala., also a 32nd Degree Mason of the Scottish Rite Temple of Knoxville, TN.
