John Feeley Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Brockett Funeral Home on Apr. 17, 2023.
John J. Feeley, a loving husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully on April 15, 2023, in Southampton, NY. Born on March 22, 1933, in New York, NY, John's 90 years were marked by his analytical mind, adventurous spirit, and the deep love he had for his family.
John is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 65 years, Eleanor, and their cherished children, John (Ann Tierney), Lynn Finger (Augie), Anne Higgins (Chris), and the late Edward (Annette Patalano). He is also survived by his adoring grandchildren, Lisa, Michelle, Augie, Melissa, Allison, Kaitlin, Christopher, Aileen, Liam, and Erin. John was the dear brother of James (Marie) and the late Patrick (and the late Susan).
John's lifelong passion for learning began at a young age and led him to earn a BS degree in Industrial Engineering. He went on to have a successful career as an engineer, where his analytical skills and keen attention to detail were highly valued. He was a proud Marine veteran, who served in the Korean War and was later honored by the Korean government for his service. John brought the same level of dedication and discipline to his work and personal life.
He enjoyed traveling with his wife and family and creating lasting memories with loved ones. One of the most memorable trips for John and Eleanor was their journey to Ireland, where they were able to connect with their ancestral roots and share in the rich history and heritage of the Emerald Isle.
He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, who took great pride in the accomplishments and successes of his family. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of sharing in his life's journey.

I´ve just heard the sad news about John and would like to send condolences to our cousin Eleanor and all her family. I have the most wonderful memories of meeting the family in 1978 and 1980 when visiting NYC.
Sincere sympathy from cousin Elizabeth Higgins-Parker and all cousins in Ireland and UK

I just received a text from an old friend and am deeply saddened to learn of John's passing. I kind of grew up with the Feeley's beginning at the age of 5 or 6. The Feeley clan lived two houses away, and later, across the street. I have very fond memories of getting into trouble with son Johnny and a few times having to answer to his dad, Mr. Feeley. Mr. and Mrs. Feeley were close and loving friends and confidants of my parents. He was a great husband, father, uncle, grandparent and friend. There are many, many memories I have of him, most of which involved he and Mrs. Feeley sitting on the front stoop, sharing a drink and conversation with my parents and the other neighbors on 113th St. One more recent memory that is etched in my mind was while I was giving my father's eulogy. I was a little nervous, looked up and saw Mr and Mrs F in the front row. It had a calming effect on me.
I wish Mrs Feeley, Johnny, Lynn, Annie and the rest of the Feeley clan my deepest and most sincere condolences.
Love always, Mike Zunno
