NST Mourns Morris Feuer

Former Shareholders Association President and long-time North Shore Towers resident Morris Feuer passed away on August 13.
Feuer is survived by Rhoda, his wife of 55 years, and children Karel, Jeff, and Denise. He is also survived by four grandchildren, Jessica, Daniel, Mallory and Harrison.
“When my father walked in the room the room lit up,” his daughter Karel said. “He was very benevolent and charitable. All his life he gave to different causes and always cared about the underdog.”
Feuer was born in the lower east side of Manhattan and spent his summers in Liberty, NY. After living in Queens, the family eventually moved to East Meadow.
A former jewelry manufacturer who was a resident of the Towers for 26 years, Feuer spent about seven years as the president of the Shareholders Association. Current association president Barbara Leonardi said that he will be remembered most for his passion for the North Shore Towers community and his hard work.
“Morris was the type of person that loved to be involved with the issues,” Leonardi said. “He loved to do things for charity reasons, he loved to do things for his community. He was a very strong-minded person and he was a doer.”
Feuer also was a former General Manager of Modell’s Shoppers World, Associate Trustee of North Shore University Hospital, past chancellor of Knights of Pythias, former president of F&F Creations and Raphael Co., and the former owner of Lakeville Manor, among his other involvements. Even after retiring, Feuer set up a calling service where individuals could contact him to get matched up with doctors. Karel described her father as someone who “couldn’t stand to sit idle for a minute.”
Karel said that she found the new people her father met throughout his travels to be very exciting. While in Puerto Rico, he befriended members of the ’69 Miracle Mets team, who later attended her sister’s Sweet 16 party.
On August 5, Feuer was surrounded by loved ones as he celebrated his 75th birthday. He passed away on August 13 at 7:10 p.m. following a stroke. Karel said that he had a quiet and comfortable passing.
