The Museum of Modern Art Archives, Library, and Research Collections mourns
the passing of Danny Fermon.

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Danny Fermon, who
joined MoMA in 1971 as a Page in the Library. Encouraged by Library
director Clive Phillpot, Danny earned an MLS in 1991 and rose through the
library ranks, eventually being promoted to Associate Librarian, Cataloging
in 2003. He was active in the Museum’s homegrown union, PASTA (Professional
and Administrative Staff) MoMA, and later with Local 2110, notably as Shop
Steward. Danny was one of the Museum’s longest serving employees, and in
fact was with MoMA for more than half of its ninety-three year existence.
Danny took his roles as Associate Librarian and Shop Steward seriously, and
he was always quick to greet colleagues with a warm smile and a laugh. And
his skills as a cataloger were legendary. His passing was sudden, and Danny
is survived by his siblings: Charles Fermon and Priscilla Fermon.


For those of you in the New York City area, services for Danny Fermon will
be held on Sunday, July 16th at 10:00 am at Riverside Memorial Chapel, 180
W. 76th St. A Rabbi will lead the services.
