John was a great man. I met him when I was delivering radiators to his dealership when I was just 16 years old. I worked for my dad in our small radiator business on Voss Road just north of Hampshire about 5 miles. John was always smiling and kind. He treated me with respect as just a young girl. This is why my parents and I choose Fenzel Motor Sales as the place to buy my first car after college. My parents have since passed, but if they were here today they would venture to Hampshire to...

John will always have a special place in my heart. The master storyteller got to tell me many stories that I had missed about my father since he passed away and a younger age. I always enjoyed bringing pies for the holidays for him and his family and I´m more recent years I was bringing meals for John and Muriele and of course enjoyed more stories that were so fun I will miss him sending hugs to all his family Becky Weaver

Dearest Muriel, Our deepest Condolences to you and your family. We were so disappointed to not have opportunity to say so long when moving day came. It was so special to have been neighbors and we always appreciated John's pride, conviction and wise words, he is truly forever an inspiration. Sending prayers for peace.....Steve and Wendy O'Neill.

John was an extraordinary man. He Was a good business man, a great friend of the family and an all around great human being. We grew up on Jefferson St. in Hampshire one block away from the dealership. John was well known all over northern Illinois. When my stepfather passed away, John made sure my mother was treated like family when it came to her cars. I remember John always calling me "my boy" as he greeted me on the street. My condolences to John´s family. Thomas Hicks Sycamore IL.

We lived across the street from the Fenzel´s in Sleepy Hollow many decades ago. My oldest, Michelle, and Lisa were good friends. John spent long hours at the dealership in Hampshire so his presence in our neighborhood was felt, even though he wasn´t home much. Always had a smile and looked fit enough to still be in the service. Muriel it´s hard to believe we´re now spending more time looking back on our lives than forward. We have been blessed with wonderful families and now so many warm...
