Phillip Frederick Fehr, of Oak Harbor, Ohio, passed away on March 19, 2025, at the age of 92. He was born on December 19, 1932, in Port Clinton, Ohio, to Eunice (Snyder) and Herbert Fehr.

Phil was a proud graduate of Oak Harbor High School, Class of 1950. Shortly after graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy, serving as a yeoman aboard the USS Charles H. Roan. Following his military service, he returned to Oak Harbor, where he married Jane (Young), on June 16, 1962. Together, they shared 62 wonderful years of marriage. Phil and Jane liked to play cards with friends and travel together. One of their favorite destinations was Pipestem State Park in West Virginia. Phil and Jane spent winters in Florida and later Texas, where they formed lasting friendships and cherished time with their grandsons.

Phil dedicated his career to Biro Manufacturing before enjoying a well-earned retirement. He was an avid bowler, golfer, and latch-hooker, loved working in the woods, and took great joy in attending his children’s events. A proud member of the American Legion, Phil valued camaraderie and service.
