It is with deep sadness that I share the passing of longtime Frenchtown resident and dedicated community volunteer John Fiebig.

Many in our community knew John through his many years of service with the Frenchtown Lions Club, or simply from seeing him around town with his wife, Debby, who taught at Frenchtown School for many years.

John will be remembered for his caring spirit, warm and welcoming nature, and deep love for his family and the Frenchtown community. His years of service and the kindness he showed to others leave a lasting mark on our town.

Please join me in extending our heartfelt condolences to the entire Fiebig family, including John’s son, Kurt, who serves our community as Frenchtown’s DPW Manager.

Our thoughts are with Debby, Kurt, and all of John’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.

On behalf of the governing body, I would like to extend our sincere condolences on the passing of Frenchtown Historian Rick Epstein.

Rick was a gifted writer, journalist, historian, and local tour guide whose passion for Frenchtown brought its rich history to life. His eloquence, knowledge, and storytelling made him a trusted source for so many who wanted to better understand and appreciate our community. Many also came to know Rick through his years as a journalist with the Delaware Valley News, where his thoughtful writing and commitment to local storytelling left a lasting impact.

More importantly, Rick was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a soon-to-be grandfather. While our community has lost a true treasure, his greatest legacy lives on through the love of his family and the countless lives he touched.

We have lost a remarkable member of our community, but his memory, his stories, and his passion for preserving Frenchtown's history will continue to inspire generations to come.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Rick's family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. May he rest in peace.

Tonight’s Fireworks Cancelled

Due to the threat of severe thunderstorms expected this evening, the fireworks display scheduled for tonight on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River across from Frenchtown Borough, NJ has been cancelled.

In addition, last night's storms caused significant damage throughout the area, and thousands of residents are still without power. The safety of our community, visitors, and volunteers assisting with the fireworks show remains the top priority.

Thank you for your understanding, and please stay weather-aware and safe this evening.

Wishing you a safe but Happy July 4th holiday. 🇺🇸🦅🗽
