Edward Fell, Jr

Edward Fell Jr. of Canfield, died suddenly on Friday, June 2, 2017 at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Boardman. Born March 16, 1947 in the town of Tower Hill #2, Luzerne Township, PA., Edward was the son of Mary (Johns) and Edward Fell Sr. Edward graduated from Youngstown State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. His career in the steel industry spanned many years and many companies, which gave him the opportunity to travel throughout the United States and to Japan. He retired in 2002, saying that he was ready to enjoy life. Woodworking was Edward's avocation. He was a self-taught master woodworker and is known for both the quality furniture that he designed and crafted, as well as his wood carvings. Edward shared his passion with others by building furniture for family and friends and by giving tours of his workshop. Additionally, he was always willing to lend a hand (or supervise) home improvement projects and was able to fix anything he put his mind to. An active member of the Youngstown Rifle and Pistol Club, Mr. Fell served as the club's treasurer. He worked diligently to improve the club by raising money through grant writing and coordinated community outreach activities. Edward enjoyed target shooting and was an excellent marksman for which he was recognized with awards. He was also a member of the board for his condo association, serving as treasurer, and was often seen riding his bike through the community and chatting with neighbors. He will be remembered as a husband, father, grandfather, and brother who took pride in the lives and accomplishments of his children and grandchildren. He loved coming together and spending time with his family. He also enjoyed traveling, bike riding, cooking, and listening to his extensive collection of CDs, and always had a soft spot in his heart for animals. Mr. Fell is survived by his wife, Cheryl K. (Schialdone) Fell, whom he married on July 5, 1969; sister Donna Fell of Ocean Isle, NC; two daughters, Dr. Jennifer (Matt) Toczko of Raleigh, NC, and Julie Anne (Stanley) Cheadle of Chillicothe, OH; six grandchildren: Alexander and Clarissa of NC, Chase, Emma Paige, Gage, and Chad of OH. He was preceded in death by his parents and a sister Gloria Kell. A celebration of Edward's life will be held at a later date. "In celebration of a life well-lived to Edward Fell, a man well loved."
