The Rev. Herman Wesley Fry, 83
REHOBOTH BEACH - The Rev. Herman Wesley Fry, of Rehoboth Beach, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2008, at Harbor Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center, Lewes. He was 83.
He was born March 12, 1924, in Petersburg, Va., son of the late Charles R. and Annie May (Davis) Fry.
Mr. Fry attended the Petersburg public schools and continued his education at North Central University, Minneapolis, Minn.
He married his wife of 62 years, Lois A. (Doscher) Fry, formerly of Carteret, N.J., on Oct. 14, 1945.
Mr. Fry was ordained 58 years ago with the Assemblies of God.
He has pastored various churches in Virginia, West Virginia, Florida and Maryland.
His last pastorate before retiring in 1991 to Rehoboth Beach, was in Silver Spring, Md. where he officiated for 17 years.
In his retirement years, Mr. Fry has enjoyed singing with the Barbershoppers, Nautical Sounds, in Bethany Beach, participating in bible study groups and being with friends at McDonalds.
He also enjoyed many a walk around Rehoboth Mall, golfing and traveling the country with his wife.
Mr. Fry and his wife have been active in many ways with the Midway Assembly of God congregation in Lewes.
Over the years, he and his wife have orchestrated the music at church conventions and meetings and they organized the first Youth Camp for the Potomac District Council of the Assemblies of God.
While serving in the Potomac District Council of the Assemblies of God, he held numerous ministerial positions, including Youth Director, Presbyter, Men's Fellowship, and Sunday School Director.
Most of all, Mr. Fry loved to sing, quote scripture and he loved the Lord.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by three brothers.
In addition to his beloved wife, Lois, he is survived by his daughter, June Toth of Scaggsville, Md.; two sons, Paul Fry of Kearneysville, W.Va. and Ken Fry of Burke, Va.; four grandchildren; one great-grandchild; and his sister, Ruth Fitch of Richmond, Va.
Funeral services led by Pastor Gary Ross will be 11 a.m. Saturday in Midway Assembly of God Church, Del. 1 and Old Postal Lane, Lewes, where friends may call one hour prior to the service.
Interment will be at Conley's United Methodist Cemetery, Robinsonville Road, Lewes.
Instead of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be made to the Midway Assembly of God Church, P.O. Box 669, Lewes, DE 19958.
Arrangements are being handled by Parsell Funeral Enterprises, Inc., Lewes.
