Patrick W. Fearon

Patrick W. Fearon, 74 of Dover came to his well-deserved rest on Sunday, August 10, 2008 after courageously battling illness for 10 years.

He was born on May 11, 1934 in Pittsburgh, PA, the son of the late John and Angela Walters Fearon. His mother died just a few years after his birth and his stepmother Ellen precedes him in death as well. Additionally, his wife Norma preceded Patrick in death.

Patrick served as the President of Fearon & Feller Inc., a business he helped found in 1965.

Raised Catholic, he had a great love for animals and the outdoors. He adored his pets and most recently enjoyed the well-stocked fishpond at his home. He loved nothing better than to have his friends and family there with him. Patrick was a member of the Ohio Water Well Association and a proud member of the NRA.

He is survived by his best friend and business partner of 47 years, Bill Feller, who resides in Dover with his wife Patti. He will also be fondly remembered by their children Zachary and Bronwyn Feller and their families.
