Brother of Jean Davie Fieg Dies

On January 19, 2009 Raymon G. Davie, jr. passed away at his Cooperstown home. Raymon was the brother of Jean Davie Fieg, wife of V. Philip Fieg, founder of the Fieg Family News.

Uncle Raymon, who had been battling prostate cancer, collapsed at home on January 14 and was transported to Basset Memorial Hospital in Cooperstown. Pneumonia was diagnosed, as was the spread of the cancer to his lungs.

His family took him home on Sunday, and Monday morning he was discovered to have died during the night. He was 77 years old.

"Buzz" was not a Fieg -- strictly speaking -- but he was so close to us that he will always be a cherished member of our extended family. A native of Oneonta, N.Y., he and Aunt Sonja always gave us a cheery welcome to their cottage on Otsego Lake. Cooperstown will certainly not seem the same with Uncle Ray waiting for us. He will be greatly missed.
