Dr. Fening delivered all of my children and retired one month before before delivering my first grandchild. He is in my thoughts always. I remember his gentle hands and his smiling eyes when he delivered each one. He taught me compassion, and as an emergency room and educator I use it every day. Thank God he was with me when I needed him most. Prayers to all his family, with love

Dr. Cliff was one of my father's closest friends. Just like his brothers, he was a true gentleman. I personally remember him at our house often when I was a kid. He was always a joy. God bless all the Fening family.

We lived next door to Cliff and his family when he first started his medical practice. He was always so nice and compassionate. Once he put a "butterfly" bandage on our daughter's face when she fell and got cut. It was good to have a doctor next door. :) Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family at this time of grief. He will be sadly missed.

I am saddened to hear of Dr. Fening's passing. He delivered two of my four children. He had something that no other doctor had then and now....compassion. He was a great doctor and showed compassion to all his patients. He will be forever missed. My prayers are with his family during this very distressing time.
God Bless .
