David Bryce Fenn, devoted husband, father, engineer, and lifelong sailor, passed away peacefully, May 5, 2026, at the age of 97.

Born on October 26, 1928, David lived a life defined by curiosity and quiet accomplishment. He graduated from the University of Rochester where he met his wife Virginia Ogden. Together they worked at NASA Lewis Research Center (now named Glenn). Virginia retired to raise their three children.

David continued his work with NASA at Lewis in Cleveland where he contributed to early advancements in jet engine and aerospace design during a formative era in American aviation.

Midway through his career, David transferred to Plum Brook Station near Sandusky, OH, where one of the nation’s largest vacuum chambers for deep space simulation was completing construction. He helped commission the new facility and then became Branch Head for an engineering group working on projects using the new facility.

Later, David worked within NASA’s wind energy program, where he was an early and steadfast advocate for three-bladed wind turbine designs, an approach that would ultimately become the industry standard.

Following Virginia’s untimely passing in 1974, David later married Elizabeth Ogden MacBeth. Elizabeth, who had been widowed and had raised three children in Vestal, New York, moved to Ohio, where she and David shared many years together.

At the age of 50, David chose early retirement, turning his focus to family, craftsmanship, and the water he loved. He expanded his cottage into a home on Johnson’s Island, complete with a second-floor sail loft where he made sails for racing boats. He is a past Commodore of Sandusky Sailing Club.

David was deeply committed to his community and faith. He served on several civic boards in his community. He was an active member of Huron Presbyterian Church, where he donated countless hours in service to the church and its congregation.

An avid woodworker, David spent many hours in his shop, happily building windmills and projects for his family, friends and neighbors. In his later years, David enjoyed walking around the island with his camera and capturing photos of the beautiful wildlife. He particularly loved eagles, great blue herons, and the annual appearance of the August lilies.

David was preceded in death by his first wife Virginia Ogden and his second wife Elizabeth Ogden. He is survived by his children, Nancy (Matthew) Buderer, Katherine (William) Thomas, and Tom (Marta) Fenn; and his stepchildren, Debbie (Jerry) Sullivan and Tom (Linda) MacBeth, and grandchildren, Chris, Brittany, Teresa, Bryce, Andy, Ian, and Nathan, and great grandchildren James, Amelia, Charlotte, Eleanor, and Hadley. He will be remembered for his intellect, integrity, craftsmanship, and the steady example he set for those who know him.

Funeral Services will begin at 11am on Friday, May 15, 2026 at First Presbyterian Church, 225 Williams St., Huron, OH 44839, where the family will receive friends beginning at 10am. Burial will be in Scott Union Cemetery, Huron, OH. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to First Presbyterian Church of Huron in David Fenn’s memory.

Having recently celebrated his 97th birthday, with his granddaughter Lizzie celebrating her 33rd, Jack Moye (John H. Moye, Sr.) passed away peacefully, January 10, 2026, at Cape Cod Hospital with family at his side.

He is predeceased by his wife Elizabeth (Bess) Moye, who passed away in 2017.He is survived by his five children—Jack, Jr. of Maryland, Thomas and Richard of Vermont, Timothy of Wisconsin, and Catherine now living in Portugal. He also leaves behind four grandchildren, Elizabeth, Julius, Fiona, and Jake.

Jack was born December 1, 1928, in Massillon, Ohio, to Dorothy Moreland Moye and Harold J. Moye. After the unfortunate and untimely death of his mother, Jack was raised by his grandparents for a time and then by his father and step-mother, Mary Miglich Moye. He was raised primarily in East Orange, NJ, Braintree, MA, and Chatham, MA. In 1951, after graduating from Middlebury College, where he enjoyed playing football and hockey, he married Elizabeth (Bess) Monks and then served three years in the Coast Guard before working for his father, an automobile dealer at the time, in the Boston area. In 1958 he established Granite Chevrolet on Stevens St. in Hyannis, before building a new dealership on Ridgewood Ave. where he worked until 1977. Later he established a dealership for a short time in Rutland, VT, before returning to Chatham and working for Bess at Cabbages & Kings Bookstore, which she had established in the early 80s with her partner and friend Meta Hutchings. The store closed in 2008 when Bess and Jack retired, at which point Jack might be seen running errands or out walking, always with one of his beloved dogs with him.

Jack was fortunate to be able to spend his last years in his own home, despite declining health and independence. Much of that good fortune was due to the fabulously reliable and invaluable care provided by his long-term primary caregiver, Maryann, to whom we are all immensely grateful.

The family is planning a celebration of life to be held at a later date.

John Emery (“Jack”) MacElwee passed away on Sunday, February 20, 2022 at the age of 93. He was a resident of Essex Meadows in Essex, Connecticut.
Jack was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who continued to share his love of sailing and fine art with family and friends after his retirement to Essex. He previously lived in Norwalk and commuted to New York City during a successful 40-year career in commercial art. Prior to that, he served in the U.S. Army as a tank commander on Korea’s front lines.
Born and raised in Babylon, New York, Jack went on to attend the Williston Academy in Easthampton, Massachusetts, and the New England School of Art in Boston. After his service in the
U.S. Army, he started his career in New York City at the Biow Company. When the company closed due to a tax scandal, Jack made a decision that would change the course of his life. He decided to explore the West Coast, moved to San Francisco, and met Carol, his wife of 64 years. They married at Grace Cathedral two years after they met. Because New York City offered more career opportunities in advertising, Jack and Carol moved east after four years and settled in Norwalk, Connecticut. Commuting to New York, Jack specialized in point-of-sale design. Among his displays were the Uniroyal Tiger Paws, the Fleetwood Mac “Rumors” album, the Florida Lottery, Chiquita Banana, Almaden Wines, and Schaefer Beer. In the mid-1970s, he moved to the other side of the business, selecting displays for Revlon.
Jack’s life was filled with activity. He hiked, biked, camped, and sailed. At the age of 50, and before running had skyrocketed in popularity, Jack began doing laps at the local track in his
work boots before moving on to running sneakers and joining the local Lightfoot running club. He went on to complete 17 marathons, which included running the famed New York City Marathon ten times. Living in Norwalk at the time, he served the community by sitting on Norwalk’s Planning & Zoning Commission for five years, and serving as Chair his last year.
When Jack retired in 1994, he and Carol moved to Essex, prompting the purchase of a Pierson 28’ sailboat, which they cruised for 15 years. They sailed as members of the Essex Corinthian Yacht Club, the Baldwin Yacht Club, and the Pettipaug Yacht Club. Jack became a steward of the Essex Land Trust, and he pursued his natural talent in painting and drawing. He attended classes at the Lyme Art Academy and the Lyme Art Association, and exhibited frequently as a member of the Essex Art Association.
In addition to his wife, Carol, Jack is survived by his son, John Alexander MacElwee, his daughter and son-in-law, Elizabeth and Bill Jones, and his grandson, Banning Jones. He also leaves his brother, Thomas Hart MacElwee, who celebrated his 100th birthday in January, as well as many nephews and nieces. He was preceded in death by his younger son, Douglas Stewart MacElwee, in 2000.
All friends are invited to a celebration of his life on Saturday March 5th at the Essex Yacht Club, 13 Novelty Lane, Essex, CT at 11:00am. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in his memory to the Essex Land Trust, the Ivoryton Playhouse, or the Essex Historical Society.

James Ross died Sept. 19, 2021, peacefully at home in Middlebury with his loving wife Ann by his side.

James “Jim” D. Ross was born April 9, 1929, in Proctor, Vt., and raised in Rutland, Vt., son of Stewart and Lauren (McAdam) Ross. He graduated from Middlebury College in 1951 and received his Master’s degree from the Syracuse School of Business Administration in 1952. He attended Officer Candidate School and served in the Navy during the Korean Conflict.

Jim served as a Middlebury College Financial Officer and Business Manager from 1956 to 1991. He married Ann (McGinley) Ross and the couple had three children: Peter, Lauren, and Patty.

Throughout his entire life Jim’s greatest passions were his family and his community. He served as a volunteer on many community organizations, including 26 years on the Porter Hospital Board and 25 years on the Addison County Chamber of Commerce. He was a fierce advocate for education at all levels, serving on the Addison Central Supervisory Union School Board, and playing a lead role in conceiving, raising the funds for, constructing, and operating the new Anna Stowell Sunderland Bingham Memorial School in Cornwall in the early sixties. Jim ran the Mid-Vermont Skiing Council, guiding countless young skiers into ski racing. The last decade of his life he volunteered for the Vermont Center for Independent Living, installing wheelchair ramps across the state. He received the Governor’s award for distinguished service from the Vermont Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities for that work.

Many adults from around Middlebury remember Jim as the person who drove them to ski races throughout central Vermont every winter weekend as they were growing up in the sixties. And the person who made them laugh no matter how well they raced, and made them feel safe and loved as they trekked across the state to compete. Hundreds of other former MUHS field hockey players remember Jim as the person cheering them on at every home game long after Jim’s two daughters had graduated from high school and stopped playing the sport. He loved supporting young kids having fun.

Jim is survived by his wife and three children, six grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. He was predeceased by his brother, Gordon Ross ’47.

There will be a celebration of Jim’s life on Saturday, Dec. 4, at the Champlain Valley Unitarian Universalist Society in Middlebury at 10 a.m. The church has asked that everyone wear a mask if attending the celebration.
