Fenton and Nettie Francis Fenton (nee McIntire) in Marietta, Ohio, and spent most of his formative years in Williamstown, West Virginia.

He was involved with many service organizations and non-profits throughout his life including the Marietta Jaycees, Cheat Lake Rotary Club, Special Olympics, and coaching little league baseball, but his greatest joy was supporting his grandchildren in all of their activities.  He was Methodist by faith but in recent years found community attending Mass with his wife.  He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother-in-law, Shirley Pelfrey, and sister-in-law, Cheryl Ferguson.  He is survived by his wife of fifty-two years, Patricia McCarthy Fenton, his daughter Amy (Chris) Parker, son Patrick (Courtney), and daughter Kathy (Vlad) Nesterov; grandchildren Anne, Sarah and Jack Parker; Miles, Mitchell, Noah Fenton and Layla; and Alexander and Elena Nesterov; his brother James K.
