Fenley also enjoyed being a good cook. He also liked to travel. He visited his homeland, Haiti several times.
He still has many members of his family there. He was very mesmerized and enchanted about the country where he was born and to know the land where both his father and mother were from. Fenley’s father always instilled in him the rich history of his country, which led him to demonstrate a strong interest to know about his birthright and language heritage, creole.
It was important to him to always speak creole fluently.
