Jack
Theodore
Hampton
FENETY, C.M. LL.D. died peacefully at his
cherished home in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on July 24, 2007
with his family present. He was born on March 22, 1920, son of
the late John G. and Vivian
(LINDBERG)
FENETY. He was predeceased
in 2001 by his loving wife
Joyce
Eileen
(NASON.)
Jack was 'Dad'
to six children, Michael (Mary Ann,) and Susan
DOHERTY, of Fredericton,
Jane BEYEA
(Don) of Saint John, Anne of Halifax, Krista
ARSENAULT
(Joseph) of Moncton, and Peter (Beverly) of Fredericton. He is
also survived by a brother Linden H., of Florida, nine grandchildren,
and four great-grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews as
well as Sandra Hitchcock, long-time caregiver for both he and
Joyce. He is predeceased by a brother, Gordon, and a sister Irene
(McCABE.) In 1945, after five years in the Armed Forces, he joined
the staff of CFNB, the Fredericton radio station that for
many years was foremost in the Maritimes. In 1988, he retired,
having served with distinction in roles that ranged from radio
personality to Station Manager to Vice President / General Manager,
ending as a Management Consultant for the station. As one of
Canada's best known broadcasters, he was a trusted news voice
for thousands of CFNB listeners across the Maritimes. He
is perhaps best known locally as creator and host of the daily
morning program, 'Fact and Fancy' which was broadcast to homes
and offices across New Brunswick for a total of 12,818 programs.
'The Poetry Corner ', the 'Saturday morning prayer' and his visit
with the weather office were some of the hallmarks of the program.
As a proud New Brunswicker Jack served his community, his province
and his country in many capacities, without moving away from
his roots. Jack loved his family, his home, and his Friends.
He said he had two jobs he wanted to do, to be a broadcaster
and to be a salmon conservationist. He gained pleasure and recognition
in both areas, and accomplished much of what he set out to do.
Over the years, Jack was elected to numerous regional and national
committees that regulated and strengthened radio broadcasting
in Canada.
FENETY also sat on many prestigious, but demanding
international agencies and commissions dedicated to Atlantic
salmon conservation. As a result of his work, Jack received many
commendations for his years of untiring work in broadcasting
and conservation. Most notably, he received an honorary Doctor
of Laws Degree from the University of New Brunswick in 1989 and
was inducted into the Order of Canada in 2005. The award that
he was perhaps most proud of came from the Miramichi Salmon Association
when they established, in his name, a $10,000.00 scholarship
for Atlantic salmon research, to be made available annually to
a selected university graduate student conducting meaningful
research on Atlantic salmon. In recognition of his work, the
Fredericton Chamber of Commerce awarded him the 'Distinguished
Citizen Award' in 1988. He received the Paul Harris Fellowship
Award by Fredericton North Rotary Club and the Marysville Y's
Men Award for 'extraordinary community service contributing to
improving the quality of life in the City of Fredericton'. The
New Brunswick Minister of Natural Resources also awarded him
a special plaque, in recognition of his many years of service
to Atlantic salmon conservation. In consideration of his varied
legacies, Jack
FENETY has been named a Hall of Famer many times
over, with citations in the Canadian Fishing Hall of Fame, the
Atlantic Salmon Hall of Fame, the Fredericton Sports Wall of
Fame and the Canadian Association of Broadcasters Broadcast Hall
of Fame. An Anglican by faith, he was a member of Saint Mary's
Parish where he served as a vestryman and later as warden. Visitation
is at McAdam's Select Community Funeral Home, York Street, Fredericton
on Thursday, July 26 and Friday, July 27 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m.
The funeral service will be held at Christ Church Cathedral on
Saturday, July 28, 2007 at 2: 00 p.m. conducted by The Rev'd.
Keith Joyce, Dean of Fredericton, assisted by Canon T.A. Smith.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Miramichi Salmon Association,
or the Canadian Diabetes Association would be appreciated. Online
