Obituary: Donald J. Feehan

Donald J. Feehan, a resident of Sun City Center, FL, and Sag Harbor, NY, passed away peacefully at Hospice House, Sun City Center, FL, on June 14, 2012. Donald, born in Jamaica, NY, on Oct. 5, 1930, was one of three sons of Joseph and Alice Blauvelt Feehan. He attended Bishop Loughlin High School, graduating from New York University. Donald married Patricia M. Murphy of Floral Park and they were the parents of four children, Mary Anne Blamey, Peter Feehan, John Feehan and Timothy Feehan. Professionally, Don worked as a banker and then village clerk for Floral Park and Old Westbury.

The combined families of eight children consist of a wonderful family of spouses, 21 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Donald was predeceased by his brother, Raymond, and survived by his brother Joseph.

Don will be remembered as a kind and gentle man, a historian, a Mets fan and after wintering in Florida, an ardent Rays fan.
