Condolences to the entire Fehn family. George was a classmate of mine. I didn’t see him often, but did just run into him about a month ago, and had a nice chat catching up & got to meet his beautiful granddaughter. You could tell by the smile on his face that he was so proud of her! Rest in peace George!
We are so sorry for your loss. If we can help in any way, please let us know. We pray a blessing of peace and comfort in this time of loss. We are praying for your family.
Words cannot express the sadness I am feeling, and I cannot imagine what his family is feeling. George was a man with a heart of gold, who loved his family with every fiber in him. He probably would have given you the shirt off his back if you asked him for it. I always enjoyed the chats we would have, talking about our younger years. He was a good guy, and will be missed by many. Sending thoughts and prayers to his entire family.
