John Jeffrey Feola

John Jeffrey Feola was born to the late John and Namoi Feola, a chef, and a homemaker, in Utica, New York on June 28, 1957. He spent 20 years with Hess Oil Company as a Marketing Manager and after retirement, he continued to build various businesses throughout his career. Over the last two years, his focus has been on building the legacy of the Cummings Feola Family Foundation where he taught others the importance of finance, the preciousness of time, and the ever continued thoughts of planning.

John was blessed with a loving and close-knit family. He married his best friend and life partner, Charlene Feola, on June 8, 1985, in Liverpool, New York. John helped raised his three children with discipline, guidance, and support. He taught them the importance of family, compassion towards others, and how to walk through difficult times. John was an educator at heart. He was kind, loud, and always had time to answer a question, talk through challenges, or solve a problem, no matter how small. He will be dearly missed by his loved ones.

John is survived by his wife, Charlene; his sons Sal Brancaccio and John Feola; his daughter Chantel Feola; his grandchild Christopher Brancaccio; his brothers James and George Feola; and his sister Theresa Rockwold. He is preceded in death by his sister Geraldine Case Kistler. There will be an intimate family gathering in New York to celebrate John's life on Monday, April 25, 2022.
