RIVER HEIGHTS - William Richard Ferney passed away Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2016, in Ogden, Utah, at the McKay Dee Hospital following complications from an aneurysm. He passed away surrounded by his wife and other family members.
William was born Dec. 19, 1932, to Helen Elizabeth Crapo and William Downing Ferney in Parker, Idaho.
