CHIEF OFFICER(E) BRIAN FEENEY, CROSSED THE BAR. SITREP 1 (375)

Crossed the Bar

It is with so much sadness that I report that Chief Officer(E) Brian (Fearless) Feeney crossed the bar on 24th September 2016 aged 79 (Just a few days short of his 80th birthday and following a fall).

His funeral took place in his home town of Hartlepool on 5th October 2016

On behalf of the RFA Association I offer sincere condolences to his widow Ann, his children (from his first marriage), Glynis, Jaquie, Angela and twins Mark and Domenic, and 6 grandchildren.

Ann and Brian Feeney

If you have any remembrances of Brian please email it to me at deputy.chairman@rfaa.uk and I will post them on this page. I am also looking for photographs of Brian for this piece and the RFA Association Gallery and Archive, If you have one please email it to me.

It is with great sadness to have this news however late.

I first met Brian at his first posting on RFA Blue Ranger in Malta. We were the same age as Junior Engineers at 18. I wish I knew him more. We spoke on the phone quite recently. I was posted away soon after he joined. I will always remember a fine gentleman. Please pass these sentiments to all especially his family.

He will Rest in Peace
