JACOB FEINBERG Obituary
Bone Marrow Registry co-Founder Jacob Feinberg dies at 87. The Feinberg Family and the Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation mourn the loss of the organization's co-founder, Jacob Feinberg. A CPA with Brout and Company and BDO, Jack later became a pioneer with his wife Arlene advancing the cause of bone marrow donor registration throughout the United States and abroad for the benefit of patients battling blood cancer. His efforts made possible bone marrow transplants for thousands of patients in need. The world is a better place thanks to Jack, a true hero, and his memory will live on through the lives he and Arlene saved together. He was the loving father of Jay, Steven, Edward of blessed memory and daughter-in-law Sheryl; loving grandfather of Shauna, Michelle and Skylar; brother of Robert and sister-in-law of Marty. Jack will be missed by the entire Gift of Life organization that he and Arlene created, and his countless friends and loving family. Contributions in Jack's memory may be made at www.giftoflife.org
