So sorry for your loss. He was such a nice man. May his memory be a blessing
With a very heavy heart my wife and I send our deepest wises to the Feinberg Family . We we lucky to have met Ross through his marvelous son Steven , who is a dear friend . Ross was an outstanding gentleman with a good wry laugh , a great American and a bright light. Rest in peace Sir.
He was an amazing man who lived an extraordinarily blessed life that was filled with all the love he received from all of you — his lovely wife of 65 years, his two amazing sons, and all of his grandchildren and great grandchild.
May the passage of time, heal your hearts and leave only the memories of him that give you joy.
Dear Lottie,
Our love and condolences to you and your family. And May all the wonderful memories from your long love affair live in your heart forever.
Love,
Hillary and Joe Gerber
And to the rest of the family,
I send my deepest condolences. And although I only visited with Ross a handful of times,
I will always carry with me the memory of his warm smile and the love I could feel he had for his family. ❤️ HG
May he Rest In Peace
Al & Family, You are in our hearts during this difficult time. Deepest sympathy to all.
Robbie, Steven and Lotte, all growing up in Garden City, Ross will always be remembered in my mind as an incredibly kind and gentle man, wise and loving. He was a tremendous husband, father, and supporter of dreams–his passing feels like a chunk of my childhood lost. Always good times. RIP Ross. Sending love, hugs and prayers to all of you.
I am grateful to have been a cousin, and known as a child Ross’s gentle humor and relaxed presence around me. I wish we’d had more in person connection, but facebook helped fill the gap.
May this transition beyond be one that reminds us all how to live. I am sure a large empty hole is felt in the absence of Ross’s physical largeness… may it be filled with his energetic spirit.
I wish that I could be there. much love, bonnie
Dear Lotte,
Sorry to learn of your loss. He truly will be missed. He was a wonderful Hebrew School teacher.

Rob and family, I was sorry to learn of your dad’s passing. I know how much he will be missed. Whenever I would see him , he always was smiling and happy; I will remember him that way. God bless all of the Feinberg family. –Joe Fournier
I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. Ross was a fine friend and example of a true mensch.
May God be close to you in this time of sadness.
Mr. Feinberg was a teacher of mine in fifth grade many years ago at Oak Haven Elementary School. His kindness, humor, and humility made an indelible impression that influences me to this day, over 40 years later. The world is a smaller place without him but a better place because of him. May his memory always be for a blessing.
Our deepest sympathy to the Feinberg family. Cherish your wonderful memories of Ross who was a dear sweet gentleman.
So sorry for your loss! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family! Thinking of you all and sending our love to you!
