Robert G. Feder
1957 - 2025
Robert "Bob" G. Feder, 68, of Manchester, entered into eternal rest on Saturday, May 17, 2025, after courageously battling a long illness. Husband of Yvonne (Zych) Feder and son of the late William and Lois (Kluck) Feder, Bob was born on January 13, 1957, in Stamford, CT, and grew up in Manchester, CT.
As a veteran of the Vietnam War era, Bob graduated from the Marine Corps Institute and served in the United States Marine Corps from 1974 to 1978 reaching the rank of Corporal. After his time in the military, he returned to Manchester and married the love of his life, Yvonne, with whom he spent 46 years. Bob worked for 36 years in the United States Postal Service-the majority of those years were spent at the Silver Lane Branch in East Hartford. Bob, along with his wife, loved music and often attended blues and rock concerts together. A musician himself, Bob enjoyed playing blues on his harmonica and the guitar for his family and friends. He was also an avid Chess and Backgammon player and was a member of the UCONN Chess Club, New Britain Chess Club, and Connecticut Backgammon Club meetups at Birdhouse Coffee. He was a sports enthusiast and could often be found watching the Boston Bruins, Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, and Tour de France cycling race. His faith was of the utmost importance to him and he was an active member of Concordia Lutheran Church in Manchester. Bob was a kind and compassionate man who loved his family, especially his four grandchildren and Dalmatian, Zack.
To cherish his memory, Bob is survived by his loving wife, Yvonne; his son, Luke Feder and his wife, Jamie, of Wantagh, NY, and his daughter, Stefanie DeLuca and her husband, Tim, of West Hartford, CT; his grandchildren, Miranda Feder, Matthew Feder, Vincent DeLuca, and Grace DeLuca; his siblings, Gail Feder, Roger Feder, Gwen Feder, and Charles Feder and his wife Nora; his mother-in-law, Marta Zych; his sister-in-law, Barbara Zych Nisyrios; and many loved nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Besides his parents, Bob was predeceased by his father-in-law Stefan Zych, brother Richard Feder, and sister-in-law Evelyn Feder.
Relatives and friends are invited to the John F. Tierney Funeral Home, 219 West Center St. in Manchester on Tuesday, May 27, for calling hours from 10am to 12pm. A funeral home service will take place at 12pm, with a procession to follow to East Cemetery for a military burial.
