Ferdinand, Ferdie, Freddie, Mr. V, Vennera passed away peacefully on March 27, 2020. To know him was to love him. He was a man with a roar that could shake mountains and a heart that protected and held those he loved with a loyalty that taught us what simple and true love was. To attempt to put words to the man that was so much to so many, is too great a task so we are asking you, his friends and family to help us. In lieu of a traditional service at Dad’s request, we would love to hear in your words what he meant to you and your favorite memories of him. Please comment through the link on the left. We are hoping to throw a Ferdie-sized Celebration of Life at a later date. Ferd was born on July 29, 1944. He is predeceased by his parents Frank and Frances Vennera, his brother Anthony Vennera and the love of his life Dottie Ann Vennera.
