As some people know my father, Mike Ferency, passed away Wednesday morning, Feb 21st after a battle with stage four esophageal cancer. He fought until the very end in his usual stubborn fashion. There aren't any words that can describe what he meant to our family and friends. He was very passionately referred to as the Grumpy Old Man, but anyone that got to know him knew that was just a front he put up so people didn't know he was a huge softy. He would do anything to help his family and friends and pass along knowledge he had. He was an incredibly intelligent man, and he wanted to share that knowledge. I think everyone that knew him can think of something he taught them or something he helped them with. And I know that is how he wants to be remembered. A teacher, a husband, a father, a brother, a grandfather and despite his best efforts, a friend.
We miss you Dad and love you. But we know you will continue to look over and care for us

Rest in peace father
