David "Whitey" Fennell

David “Whitey” Fennell, age 86, passed away on July 14, 2025. David was born in Butler, PA on February 10, 1939, to parents, Glenford and Dorothy (Porter) Fennell.

After graduation from High School, Whitey proudly served his country in the Air Force during the Vietnam War. After serving in the Air Force for eight years, he worked as a truck and delivery driver, most recently driving for the Toledo Blade for 29 years.
