Survived by his children, Dianne Wake, Suzanne (Don) Menz and Fern (Dr. Robert) Little; grandchildren, Michael, Anne, David, Eric, Rob and Jenna; great-grandchild, Janie; and many nieces, nephews and dear friends. Fernand was a WWII veteran where he served as Tech Sergeant in the Army Air Corps. He flew missions on B17 as a Top Turret Gunner. He was a POW, earning a Purple Heart, the Medal of Honor, a 5 Star Conspicuous Medal and several others. He worked for the US Postal Office where he retired after 29 years and was a lifetime member of the NLCA. Beloved by all who knew him, he touched the lives of many with his sense of humor and loving nature. A cherished father, grandfather, and new great grandfather, he most enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and playing golf in his leisure time.
