Joseph "Joe" B. Feeney

PORT CLINTON: Joseph (Joe) B. Feeney, 93, of Port Clinton, OH, passed away on Monday, April 28, 2025, at the Parkvue Community Chalet, surrounded by his loving family.

He was born on March 11, 1932, in Ridgefield, NJ, the son of Joseph and Agnes (Jennings) Feeney. Joe graduated from Fordham University in 1953 with a degree in Business Administration. He was a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army from 1950-1954, stationed at Fort Bliss, El Paso, TX. Upon graduation he worked for the U.S. Rubber Company in Passaic, NJ. On August 13,1960 at Epiphany Church in Cliffside, Park, NJ, he married Dolores G. Bell. They moved to Port Clinton in 1968 as Joe was tasked with opening a rubber belting plant for U.S. Rubber/Uniroyal. In 1978 he joined industrial distributor Derkin & Wise in Toledo and built solid relationships with his many customers in northwest Ohio until his retirement in 1998. He was a devoted parishioner of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church. Joe was a member of the Port Clinton Elks Club and enjoyed the camaraderie of his fellow members. He was friendly and curious and liked to ask lots of questions. While most of his adult life was spent in Ohio, he was always proud of his New Jersey roots and never fully lost the distinct eastern accent.
