Not sure what to say?

Coach Fenton was one of my male role models while growing up. He trusted me to baby sit his daughters when they were young. Sorry to hear he has passed.

Mr Fenton was my favorite teacher at Putnam! He made biology actually a pleasant class to be in. Rest in peace!

He was a favorite teacher and friend. A good human that was respected by students and colleagues.

Jerry was a respected colleague (RPHS) and friend. I will miss him.

Mr. Fenton was a captivating teacher. Really smart and challenged his students.

Jerry was a neighbor of mine in Oak Grove . He was a class ahead of me in school. Always friendly and smiling. My condolensces to his family. Nancy Stuart Tinsley

I send my condolences to Jerry's family. Jerry's memory lives on in my heart. Jerry graduated from Milwaukie High School in 1958 and was Senior Class president and voted most likely to succeed. My sister,Jeanne, was in his class. Jerry was well liked and respected by all.

I remember Jerry Fenton as a mild mannered man with an infectious smile who was respected by the entire student body at Rex Putnam. He was a great coach and I had him in football and wrestling during my freshman year. Rest in peace!

Oh boy, hate to read that Jerry passed away. One of my favorite teachers. My class at RPHS is planning our 50th reunion and I was wondering if I could find Jerry for invite. My condolences to all that loved him.
