John Fogarty is a fourth-generation Savannahian, tracing the origin of his family to Tipperary in Ireland. “My great-grandfather brought us to Savannah from Boston. He was a Merchant Marine and Savannah was on his route. He obviously loved it since he brought his whole family down from Boston, and we’ve been here ever since.” The Fogarty family has been involved with the Savannah St. Patrick's Day parade in some fashion since the 1950s. John Fogarty served as the general chairman for most of the pandemic.
