Michael Feigenbaum Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by M. John Scanlan Funeral Home - Pompton Plains on Dec. 8, 2025.
Michael Feigenbaum, 77, of Pompton Lakes, passed away on December 6, 2025.

Born in the Bronx, NY, Michael was the son of Morton and Vera Feigenbaum. On November 23, 1975, he married the love of his life, Linda, and together they recently celebrated 50 years of marriage. They settled in Pompton Lakes where they raised their two sons.

Michael enjoyed a long and dedicated 30 year career with the United States Postal Service. Outside of work, he was a true sports enthusiast, especially loyal to the New York Yankees and New York Giants. He also loved movies and cherished time spent playing cards with the neighborhood dads. A natural trivia buff, Michael had an impressive knowledge of countless subjects and delighted in sharing facts and stories with others.

Michael will be remembered for his generous heart. He was kind, considerate, and deeply loving. Nothing brought him more joy than hearing himself affectionately called "Pop Pop."

Michael is survived by his wife Linda; his son, Matthew and his wife Sarah; his son, Gregory; his brother, Benjamin and his wife Gail; his sister, Judy and her husband Brian; his beloved grandchildren, Blake and Briella. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews. Michael was predeceased by his sister Irene.

Visitation will be held Thursday December 11, 2025 at Scanlan's: Where Life is Celebrated from 4-7PM. A Mass will be held at St. Mary's RC Church, Pompton Lakes Friday December 12, 2025 at 10:30AM. For guests who plan to attend Mass, please meet directly at church.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Michael's memory can be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
