HERMON – Daniel “Grumpy” Fieger, 71, died Monday, Nov. 30, 2009, with his family by his side after a long illness. He was born April 9, 1938, in Lansdale, Pa., the son of John and Dorothy (Ziegler) Fieger. Daniel was a graduate of Lansdale High School and Husson College. He retired from the U.S. Air Force after 20 years and the postal service after 15 years. Daniel lived a long and meaningful life. He was willing to hold out a helping hand to everyone. Daniel Fieger was a great man, loved his family, was loved by many, and will be greatly missed. He spent a number of hours playing with not only sons, daughters and grandkids, but also his great-grandchildren. He loved to see the world and traveled all over. He loved his old cars, like his ’67 Dodge Cornet and the old red ’89 Mustang. Daniel enjoyed history and old war movies. He collected a number of items such as spoons, Coca-Cola items, and a number of tee shirts from all his travels. Daniel will be remembered as “grumpy” by all that knew him. He was a strong man. Life would throw rocks and he would throw them back. Daniel never would let anything take him down. Although he was a man of few words, he always knew the right words to say. Daniel is survived by sons, Ronald and Steven Fieger; siblings, Pat Zeiger, Robert Fieger, Paul Fieger and Marylou Bywater; partner, Carol Hartley and her sons, Loren Hartley and Michael Hyson and daughter, Angi Ervin; grandchildren, Marcia Fieger, Erica Fieger, Shandie Braley and Brianna Fieger; and great-grandchildren, Preston Moloney, Rayne Moloney, Joshua Gallant Jr. and Hailee Jo Gallant. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his daughter, Marissa Fieger; and son, Keith Fieger. A service of remembrance will be held noon Saturday, Dec. 5, at Brookings-Smith, 133 Center St., Bangor. Relatives and friends are welcome to call 11 a.m. until the time of service.
