Robert Feeney Obituary
SCARBOROUGH - Robert J. Feeney, 78, passed away on August 6, 2019 at home surrounded by his family and dear 4-legged friend, Suzie, listening to the sound of the ocean. Robert was born in York, ME on November 6, 1940. He was the son of Joseph and Lucy Feeney. Robert grew up on India Street in Portland, Maine. As a child he was a devoted member of his church serving as an altar boy and went on to graduate from Portland High School in 1959, later attending the University of Southern Maine. He then worked at Portland Welding and Portland Copper and honorably served in the U.S. Military for 8 years.
He always had a memory to share about his time working at 3M, Director of the Miss Maine Pageant, and his 2 terms served with the Falmouth Town Council. He was a proud member of the Portland Jaycees for 8 years and was committed to serving his community.
Anyone who knew Robert knew how hardworking he was. A great deal of his life was devoted to serving the elderly. He loved sharing stories about his first business venture as CEO of Falmouth Manor, but always considered founding Fallbrook Woods to be his greatest legacy and accomplishment. He will be remembered as a compassionate man who considered it vital to empower his employees with the wisdom, they needed in order to succeed in the healthcare industry.
Robert cherished his family and valued his time with them more than anything. He loved the ocean and Little Diamond Island, tinkering with appliances, beating everyone at checkers, and pretending he was good at golf.
Robert is survived by his loving wife and best friend, Denise, who never left his side and devoted herself to caring for him in his final days; his children Debora Beaulieu and her husband Steven; Robert P. Feeney; Cassandra Therriault and her husband Colby; Nichole Lessard and her husband Ron; Joshua Sweetser and his wife Jessica; his grandchildren Athena Winsor and her husband Eric; Cory Beaulieu and wife Kayla; Peter Hayes; Brody Sweetser; and Charlotte Therriault; and two greatgrandchildren Landyn and Elijah. He is also survived by his former wife and lifelong friend, Valerie Feeney; his brother Joseph Feeney and wife Anna; Charles Feeney and wife Sue; his sister Marion York and husband Lloyd; and predeceased by his sister Joan LeClair.
His family is going to miss him so much and is endlessly thankful to the friends and family who were unconditionally loyal to him.
Visiting hours will be held on Friday, August 9, 10 - 12 at Hobbs Funeral Home located at 230 Cottage Road in South Portland, with a service to follow at noon.

My condolences to Debbie, Robbie, and the rest of his family. It was due to Bob's encouragement that I finally went to nursing school. I was then able to be there for his mother in her final days. After Falmouth Manor Bob went on to open Fallbrook Woods, a great facility that allowed so many to age with dignity. His zest for life and his devotion to the elderly will be greatly missed.

To the Feeney family, I'm so sorry to hear about Bobby's passing. My memories go back to childhood days on India St. We had so much fun in the back yard, and the play house his Dad build for us to play in when it was raining. Our families were friends for years. I always consider him as a younger brother. The older we got the less we kept in touch. Bob was such a wonderful guy. There is just so many great thing about him. Marion, Joe & Chuck and the rest of the family our sincere sympathy,

We fell in love with Bob when we moved into our Florida home in 2017. His wit and downeast style captured our New England hearts. Though Suzie may have been the boss, Bob was seen every morning enjoying conversation with neighbors. We loved Bob, Denise and Suzie. We will miss but never forget our good friend!

Bob will surely be missed. He was a caring man and we will miss getting together every now and then. You were a great host when we visited you and Denise in Florida. You made sure we had a great time. From baseball games to the beach and yummy dinners oh and going to get ice creams and relaxing by the pool. We have enjoyed time spent with you. I will miss the family dinners out and the annual boat rides on the ocean. Rest peacefully Bob. Fly high! You will be missed!
