Notes - Robert Ernst FENN Born May 3, 1920 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, to Ella (Madenwald) and Sizzo Fenn; died November 5, 2010 in Seattle, WA. An army veteran of World War II from 1942-1945, Robert served in the Asiatic-Pacific Theatre as a cryptographer, receiving a bronze star for his part in the Philippine Liberation. August 3, 1948 he married Margaret Patricia Walsh in Ashland, WI and soon thereafter they moved to Seattle. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Seattle University, was employed with Boeing for 20 years as a parts buyer, and founded (with two partners) Air Spares, Inc., sellers of airplane parts. Upon retirement, Robert bought a fishing boat (El Tigre). In addition to globetrotting with Margaret and spending time with his children and grandchildren, Bob spent many happy summers charter fishing out of Westport, WA, where the only thing he enjoyed more than catching a big king salmon was teaching someone else how to land one. He was generous to a fault and will be remembered for his big heart and infectious laughter. Robert is survived by his loving wife, Margaret, with whom he shared 62 years of joy; sons, David (Ruth) and Mark (Ann); and grandchildren, Lauren, Ryan, Kyle and Liam. He leaves behind his beloved sisters, Edythe and Elinor, and many more relatives and friends. Preceded in death by his brother, Elbert Fenn. Bob's joys in life were his family, fishing, rockhounding, cooking, painting, and storytelling. He and Margaret loved to travel and made friends everywhere they went. We would like to extend special thanks to Bob's devoted in-home caregivers, and to the staff at Ballard Care and Rehabilitation Center, Polyclinic and Swedish Hospital. Private Family Services will be held at Tahoma National Cemetery. Remembrances may be made to Long Live the Kings (salmon conservation) www.lltk.org; or Ballard Food Bank, 5130 Leary Ave. N. W., Seattle, WA 98107. Please sign the online guest book at www.legacy.com. Hoffner Fisher & Harvey
