Peter Feidelberg Obituary
Meredith Ewart, 29, and Peter Feidelberg, 34, had a romance that began in a corporate office in Montreal. They took their vows in a civil ceremony at the Municipal Building in Manhattan.
And more than a year after that, they held the reception back home in Quebec, at a country inn where friends and family danced and toasted their happiness under bright sunny skies.
"They really loved each other," said Robert Ewart, Ms. Ewart's father. "I never heard them fight, never heard them bicker."
Both worked at Aon Corporation, on the 104th floor of 2 World Trade Center. Their long-planned wedding party finally took place on Aug. 11 at an inn a few miles from Otterburn Park, Ms. Ewart's hometown, where about 90 guests gathered. The weather, so hot and sticky most of August, became clear and mild for the occasion.
"He was just a prince of a fellow, and we just loved him," Ms. Ewart's father said of Mr. Feidelberg. "At the end I went over, and I said, 'I love you, Mer,' and she said, 'I love you, Dad.' "
Mr. Feidelberg, an avid skier and bicyclist, had recently returned from a trip to Germany, where he hiked in the mountains with his father. "I was fortunate to travel with him," said his father, Michael. "It's a very big loss."
Ms. Ewart was born on June 25, 1972, her father's 33rd birthday, and they always celebrated together, with two cakes — orange for him, chocolate for her. But last year, she and her husband bought a house in Hoboken, N.J., and could not make it to Montreal for the big day.
As they went for a walk that evening, Mr. Feidelberg told her he regretted that he had never formally proposed to her. "So he got down on his knees and said, 'Meredith, will you marry me?' " Mr. Ewart said, "And he gave her this gorgeous diamond engagement ring. Needless to say, she accepted the proposal, and the birthday present."

peter,
Its aready years that I found your name on google while I was looking for my own surname. I was moved and couldnt believe what I read. I tried to find out how to get in contact with someone who knew you or your family but didn'T find. Now through this guest book may be its possible. Peter, we never met and as I see your picture with your sympatic smile, I feel very sorry for it.I think you would certainly have been curious to find out about the persons from germany who have the same surname as you. May be this guest book helps to find out,about the Feidelbergs.There are not too many Feidelbergs in the world!! my deapest regards to your family, Marianne ([email protected])

Be blessed.

Peter...
I dreamed of you and your father last night. For some reason I thought he may have passed away just like my parents did this year. On the internet I found out I was right. Now you are with your parents and your wife in heaven. My condolences to your brother and the rest of your family.
Then I came across this book. It was nice to read it and learn more about you after all these years.
I loved your humour, your smile and the way you danced. I cried so much after 9-11 and I had nightmares for months. At your funeral, I was at least comforted to know you had found happiness with Meredith.
As you know, I have found my soulmate as well, but I will always love you. Say hi to my parents for me.

Petey, I will always remember the laughter we had, especially that day I reached out my arm without looking to embrace my girlfriend and found myself with my arm around you instead. We both shockedly turned to look at each other and slowly sidled away in awkward silence. We both burst out howling shortly there after from the absurdity of it all when I pointed my finger at my girlfriend and burst out "You Moved! Don't move again, never ever ever move again"

Finky,
It's been mentioned a million times I'm sure, but what can I say. I hear that laugh in my mind and it always brings a smile. A couple of the old crew are getting together tonight and we'll certainly have a 'beverage' in your honor. God Bless.

Finky Pete!.... I still think about you. I always will. Every once and a while, I hear your laugh and remember something about you. Today, 8 years later I find this guest book and a few familiar names sharing the same sentiments.
rest in peace my friend

Peter was a Theta Sigma Fraternity brother of mine at Concordia University. I'll never forget the great times we had together like mountain biking, going to movies and hanging at the "House". He never a negative thing to say about anyone. He offered his place in Hoboken to me to stay in as long as I wanted when I first moved to New York. I later returned the favour to him by bringing him to a Yankees/Mets game during the Subway series. I know that Pete always wanted to move out west. I was stuck in traffic on the GWB when 911 happened, the first thing I did was to try to give Pete a call on the cell phone, but of course the lines were all busy. Since that day I think about him just about everyday.
He will alway remain an important part of my life.

I never met Peter but I did speak to him a few years ago. You see we share a very uncommon last name and he performed an internet search to locate me. We talked just one time but we agreed that some day we would get together to try and figure out if and how we were related. Unfortunately that day never came. I am quite sorry we never met and particularly saddened at the way his life ended. From all I have read about him he seemed like a happy and fun loving person. 9-11 touched us all.

I went to high school with Peter (Bialik High School class of '84) and I will forever miss him. I know how saddened all his friends and classmates were at his passing. We will always remember his smiling face and easy going nature. Shalom chaver (goodbye friend).

I knew Peter while at University and I remember him as a smiley, happy, good natured soul. His fraternity and my sorority regularly partied together. I was shocked when I learned a few days after 9/11 that Peter worked with his wife at the WTC and that they were among the missing. This is to offer my deepest sympathy to the family members, friends and associates of both Peter and Meredith. Hopefully time has made their passing a little easier to bear. God bless you…..

I was Peter's best friend growing up in Montreal. I was a pall bearer at his mother's funeral. We lost touch and reconnected many times over the years. His friendship is a large part of the man I am today. Peter was a wonderful man. I feel tremendous grief on this 1st anniversary of his death that I will never have the opportunity to reconnect with him once again. His spirit lives in all who met him and I will try and do his memory proud.

It's a few days before the one year anniversary of 9/11 and I have just learned that Peter was in the building. When I say his picture in the paper, I got shivers all over my body. I knew Peter in University. He was always smiling and happy. The world has lost a truly bright ray of light. The horror of that day was bad enough when I only knew of people who lost relatives or friends, But I have personally lost a friend who I knew and admired. Peter, May god give you and your family peace... You da Man !!!

In memory of Peter Feidelberg
We did not know Peter, but my husband is the brother of Cam Sutton who works for Aon. I came across this on the internet and wanted to express our deepest sympathy. I have thought of all the lives lost that day and especially of the ones from my brother-in-laws office and it still hurts deeply. Our deepest deepest sympathy to the family.

Peter,I didn't know you well. I only spoke with you a few times at fraternity occasions. I think I administered the oath of brotherhood to you when you became a member of Theta Sigma. I do recall however your friendly and engaging manner. My thoughts & prayers are with your families. May the love & respect you & Meredith shared serve as an example to those who seek to divide us.

Peter..
The most smilingest giggly impish angel - I can't tell you how much I miss you and your laugh...I want you to know that I hear you guys laughing in my ears all of the time..and that you take great delight in every speech I give..because I ended up having to use the Toastmaster experience way more, once again! (I'll never forget how you got out of the speech on you wedding party! Rascal)...
When I took the elevator that morning and right before you ran to the stairwell - I know you were saying goodbye to me..neither of us knew anyone would make it out that day...and I called and called you and Mer...and I still have a difficult time accepting that you're up there now, and not down here.. I have your initials along with Merideths and Colins, Mike A and Kirsten and Deb all in a long twisting vine tattoo ln my left arm (closest to my heart) and I take you with me...everywhere I go..
I miss you so much.
(you don't have to protect me anymore from you know who - or maybe you still are!)
Keep laughing.
Love,
laen

We are deeply sorry for your loss of Peter and Meredith. May their happiness, their lives and love continue living in those who love them. May the sorrow in your hearts be lightened by the golden memories of times you shared with them. Our hearts cry deeply with you.
America Cries
We see your sorrow-

We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,

to ease your sorrow.
