Danny is unforgettable. I treasure my memories of NYC Catalogers Discussion Group and the occasional coinciding at Carnegie Hall.

Danny was one of the warmest, kindest souls to ever exist, especially in the heart of NYC. His passion for music cataloging was an inspiration to me. I have wonderful memories of his humor and smile. He was a great mentor and will be missed

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.
