It is with heavy sadness that I must inform you Sharon has passed away. While many of you are already aware of this, I do know that not everyone has heard and I don't want to miss any of our customers as all of you were so very important to her.
Sharon passed away yesterday (Tuesday April 29th) in the afternoon with myself and our son Charley by her side. Sharon fought with all she had in her to stay here with us, but perhaps God felt he needed her with him more right now. I will miss my "redhead", but I know that she is up there watching over all of us.
Yes, I will take care of myself in the days to come because I know that is what Sharon would expect of me.
At this time, I have decided to shut down the website as far as orders go. Perhaps in the weeks to come things will change, but for now this is what I feel must be done. Please, do not place any new orders at this time. If you have already placed an order, I will contact you and we will discuss your options.
As each of you peruse your china cabinets or shelves, I am sure that you will see a piece of glass that will remind you of Sharon ...... remember her with a smile, as that is how those who knew her well will remember her - and know that she thought the world of each of you and was glad that you had touched her life in whatever way you did.
Some of you have requested the name of a charity where you could send a rememberance for Sharon.... If she could, she would tell you that she would like it to go to her church.

We started collecting Fenton Glass in 1964. In 1995, our house was bursting at the seams, my employer retired and I decided to try a new career. We had always loved Fenton Art Glass so that was a natural choice. We became Fenton dealers in 1995 and achieved Showcase Dealer status in 1996 and earned the Gold Showcase Dealer status in 2003. All of this would not have been possible without our customers. They become a part of our family of Fenton Collectors and we endeavor to bring the best of personal service and high quality products to each member of that family. Please Join us on our Adventures in Collecting.
