Ferney we have loved you for a very long time. You will be missed. May you rest in peace.
I have known Ferney since I was four years old. I can’t even begin to count the hours spent in his house. He and Ann were like a second set of parents for me growing up. I know that although he is in a better place, he will be greatly missed here. I send you all my love!
Thinking of you and your family on this day. Hugs, Love and Prayers to you
I served with Ferney in Vietnam with the A Company, Third Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment of the 199th Light Infantry Brigade in 1970. I remember him well as a fine soldier. I was so happy to see him again at our Always Alpha reunion in Denver, Colorado in 2002. He was there along with his wife. I was hoping that he would continue to attend our biennial reunions but I never saw him again. As I watched the video, I can see how much he loved to travel and above all to fish. I will see you again in Heaven, Ferney. Thank you for your friendship. I apologize for the lateness of my condolences but I just learned about Ferney’s death today, 29th day of December 2019.
In friendship, care and love! May you rest in God’s eternal peace!
