Wichita Mayor Carl Brewer released the following statement regarding the Thursday death of community leader and businessman George Fahnestock:
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Fahnestock family. George was a successful businessman, a familiar face and a fixture in our community - whether he was serving a charitable organization, supporting Wichita State University athletics or championing an important cause such as improving public schools or revitalizing downtown. He was humble, approachable and generous. Wichitans will miss his smile, his passion and his commitment to improving our community.”
