Frederic Lyndon Ferry of Reedville, Va., a retired aerospace worker, died Sunday, May 19, in Rappahanock General Hospital, Kilmarnock, Va. He was 66 years and the husband Lucille Carrine Ferry.
A native of Ridgefield, he was born in a house on West Mountain Road on Nov. 21, 1935, a son of A. Lyndon Ferry and Vivienne Seeley Ferry. He grew up here and graduated in 1953 from Ridgefield High School where he had played football.
He studied in college for a year before joining the U.S. Navy, serving on the first missle cruiser, U.S.S. Boston, in the Mediterranean. After his discharge in 1957, he joined Data Control in Danbury where he worked on aerospace equipment. It was there that he met Lucille Carrine. They were married in 1963 at Jesse Lee Memorial United Methodist Church.

The Ferrys, who had lived on Jeffro Drive, moved to Maryland in 1986 and to Reedville in 1992.
