Fabian was born April 1, 1918, in Mansfield, Ohio, the son of Michael and Margaret (Zimmerman) Folmer. He attended school in Mansfield, Ohio, and then graduated from Ohio State University with an accounting degree. Fabian married Doris Stein in 1941, and they had two daughters, Judy and Pam. He joined the Air Force and became a Master Sergeant in World War II. He was a mechanic working on and flying B17 in Molesworth, England with the Hell’s Angels. His buddies nicknamed him “Fabulous Fabian” because of his mechanical abilities. Following the war, Fabian toured the United States promoting the Hell’s Angels. In 1978, he married Donna (Roberts) Shoars of Osage. This gave him two step-children. He worked as an accountant for Hydro-Conduit, being transferred to many cities. Upon retiring, they moved to Loveland, Colorado, and then to Osage to be near Donna’s children. Fabian had a love for airplanes and football, especially the Denver Broncos, and played golf whenever possible with his wife, Donna. He was well liked, and had a favorite saying, “Keep Smiling”.
Left to cherish his memory is his wife, Donna Folmer of Osage; two daughters, Pam Easton of Arvada, Colorado; Judy Orechio of Denver, Colorado; two step-children, Mike (Deanna) Shoars of Orchard; Connie (Mike) Whitten of Charlotte, North Carolina; nine grandchildren; five step-grandchildren; twenty great-grandchildren; six step-great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; and a sister, Margie (Bob) Scodova of Mansfield, Ohio.
