I remember Brother Fehr as a kindly older gentleman who took his relationship with Jehovah God very seriously. He is resting now and following the resurrection, he will have a wonderful place in the New World.

My father had accumulated a wealth of knowledge over the years. It's the knowledge of God's word however that especially made him an example for his family. He was solid for the faith and hope that Jehovah holds out for all who want to live forever in paradise in God's righteous New World.
Though he didn't always show it he did miss our mother Erna. As both rest from their pain and await the call to be resurrected, we his family must carry our own load to receive God's smile of approval so we can be there to welcome them both from the grave. It was my fathers hope that all his children would be there too!

Uncle Clair will be missed,he was a giving person, he helped many family members through the years.His generosity will not be forgotten. He was a loyal servant of Jehovah,always giving encouragement to those he talked to. He was proud of and loved his family very much, his greatest hope was that they all continue to serve Jehovah and be with him in the paradise we know is sure to come.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of his family.
Love, Lynette

Pappap will be missed by all of us. He proved himself faithful and zealous for God's work right up to the end. We can all learn from his example and stay loyal to God so that we may be with him and Nanna in the paradise.
