To the family,
I knew Mr Feinberg as a patient for many years until my retirement. He was one of my favorites. A kind, warm, true gentle man. We had a wonderful rapport and shared each other’s life stories. You do not meet such a marvelous person in any walk of life that often. The world has lost a graceful and elegant soul.
Rosalie: You probably don’t remember me but you and Joel gave me my 1st job at Mister Donut on Atwood Avenue in Cranston. You taught me how to be a waitress, cashier and to make donuts, fill them, frost them etc. My name at the time was Debbie Waterman and I was just a high school girl working my 1st job. You and Joel were great bosses, thank you and so sorry to learn of Joel’s passing.
them etc.
I never met Joel personally, but he was a dear friend on our sports bulletin board for over 20 years. An avid Boston RedSox and Patriots fan. May your rest in peace Joel. (Jiffer)
Dear Rosalie,
I worked for Joel and you at the House of Muffins in East Providence when I was in high-school. (Karen Redmond) Joel helped me buy my first car, a 1965 VW, by negotiating the price with the salesman. He taught me how to manage the stick shift and was very patient showing me where reverse was again and again. Joel was so kind as a boss and listened to all the tales and woes of a 16 year old! You both worked so hard to make the business a success, and you, Rosalie always complimented me on how I made the countertops shine! I always admired how you loved and teased each other. I hope your memories provide comfort and smiles. Sincerely, Karen
