Emil Feador

July 30, 1961 - November 30, 2020

Emil C. Feador, 59, passed away Monday November 30, 2020. Beloved husband of Judy (nee Poprock) for 32 years. Loving father of Rachel Harper (Chris) and Christopher. Brother of Art (Trish). Uncle of Jennifer (John), David (Selena), Jessica (Jared), and Daniel. Son of the late Arthur and Lillian.Emil graduated from Padua Franciscan high school in 1979 and Cleveland State University in 1983. He worked in a field he loved – Information Technology at BP America (Sohio), Cognos Corporation, and Avery Denison, where he recently retired. Emil was the life of the party. He liked to be the first one there and the last one to leave. Emil loved Cleveland sports and football in general. During football season, you could find Emil and his brother Art watching the games together. Emil enjoyed outdoor activities, especially playing softball on the Bombers softball team in his younger years and bicycle riding. He racked up thousands of miles biking in many bicycle events – Multiple Sclerosis fundraising rides in Ohio, Texas, Iowa, and Boston; the Tour de Donut, and the annual Fredericksburg Library Roll. He was so disappointed when COVID-19 cancelled all these rides and was looking forward to participating in several next year. His latest passion was “glamping” in his RV. Emil and Judy purchased a new RV this year and enjoyed camping with their dogs, Arnie and Lucky, as well as the “boys’ trips” to Kelley’s Island with his son Chris, and brother Art. Emil was a handyman, thanks to the skills he learned from his father. You name it, he could fix it. He loved his children and was so excited to put together a montage of music and choreograph the dance steps for the father-daughter dance at Rachel’s wedding. Emil enjoyed being the “head usher” at St. Joseph Church’s 10:00 Mass. If you came in the main doors, he was there to greet you with a smile. His smile has now been extinguished due to the ravages that COVID-19 and cancer took on his body. As Emil would say, “FTITA”. NO FLOWERS PLEASE. Memorial contributions may be made to St. Joseph Catholic Church.
