I had Mr. George Fenicle for Concert Choir in 8th grade at Welsh Valley Middle School in the 1988 to 1989 school year. I just learned about his passing. I am upset to hear that he died. I send my condolences to his family and to his friends. May he rest in peace. He was a nice man who was passionate about music and he was passionate about teaching.

I absolutely loved singing in the chorus with you Mr. Fenacle. No matter how scared we would get during a performance, you would calm us down by making faces at us while we sang to keep us smiling. Brilliant!!! You truly were an extremely wonderful man, role model & teacher who was nice to all of us kids. Thank you for allowing me to learn from you Mr. F. God-bless you. Patricia Reich, 1961
