My condolences to all of Bill Fenton’s family. I just read of his passing. I worked with Bill at Axe and Arthur Motor Express from 1983 until Bill retired. Bill was more than willing to share his experience in trucking with me. We both drove double trailers to Rochester. Bill was a very kind and caring guy. It was very nice to see the memory video in Bill’s honor.

We were asked to describe Bill in one word. I went home and pondered this and finally came up with two words. He was John Wayne. He rode in on his horse and saved the day many times, for many people. When I was young, he took my mother and I in on two occasions when we had no place to go. I know he did other acts of helping for others throughout his life. He will be remembered by all of us. With love to his extended family. Chris
Grandpa you had the best smile (when you chose to show it). I'm going to miss your silliness and your stories. And that low chuckle that accompanied that twinkle in those mischievous blue eyes. There's not going to be another gentleman like you. You were truly one of a kind. It was and is an honor to have known you and to be your granddaughter.
I love you.
Love, Brandy Lee (you never called me anything else💔🧡)
With deepest condolences to the entire Fenton Family. Bill always made our family feel so welcome when we visited in Syracuse. He was one in a million and he will be missed.
Love,
Carol and Lenny Cleveland and Family
Bill always helped my mother quite a bit after my father died. He mowed her lawn and cleared her driveway of snow without being asked. I know my mother was more than grateful for his kindness. So was I. As the Fenton family gathers together, may they find comfort in the loving memories of their father, husband, uncle and grandfather.
With much love and sympathy,
Cousin Cheryl
I was truly blessed with be best son anyone could ask for. On this day the last Father's day we were all together my son wanted a photo with both his grandpa's. I love both these wonderful men more then anything.
I love you more then words can ever express grandpa Bill and will always be your Nikki-cole.
You ment the world to so many. And life will never be the same. Thank you for always being good to me and my son. We love you.
Dad as I think about your life, you always said you were a survivor. How do I even think about writing about your life with so many chapters. There are some parts that were shared with me, while my brothers and sisters had many of their own chapters.
You had your childhood chapter that probably only a few outside your brothers and sister knew about. My mother shared a different chapter with your times with her in high school and raising a big family.
There probably isn't anyone but you who knew about your chapter and time spent in the war in Korea. You always told everyone that you grew up with your children. I think that was true.
You were always proud of the job you had for so many years driving tractor trailers. I inherited your love for the road as I still love my own road trips out in California.
There is so much more I want to write and share about your long life and people you met along the way and places you traveled.
I want to thank you, which I have over the years for helping with my mother’s family as I explore my ancestry and family history. Even if information you told me turned out not to be exactly correct, that information pointed me in the right direction.
As I sit here at your kitchen table, so many memories come to mind. Some that I haven’t thought of in years.
Thank you for the life you gave me.
Love Bill Jr
