ALTON-William G. Feger whom was lovingly known as Pappy, lost his courageous battle against colon cancer on Sunday April 8, 2018 at Douglas Wentworth Hospital with his family by his side.

Pappy was born on November 9, 1954 in East Islip, NY son of John Feger and Marion (Grundner) Feger. He met his wife Theresa Feger when he was just 16 years old and moved their growing family to Alton, NH 37 years ago. He spent years rebuilding the farmhouse where they raised 4 children.

He is survived by his wife Theresa Feger, his son Billy Feger and his wife Shannon of New Durham, his daughter Heather Hillsgrove and her husband Jason of Alton, his daughter Terry Stevens and her husband Matt of Alton, his daughter Jill Colety of Rochester and his grandchildren Lilianne Hillsgrove, Charlie and Brody Stevens, Adrianna Trent, Brenden and Carter Colety, his little buddy Chili and his three sisters Carol, Anne and Susan of NY.

He was a carpenter by trade and over the years of his career he worked as a supervisor on many commercial projects like Misty Harbor Resort and Waterville Valley. He enjoyed building homes most of all and loved using his attention to detail doing finish work and fine woodwork. His son Billy joined him when he was just out of high school and they worked for themselves for 14 years. Over the last 10 years they have been working together in the garage. Whether they were resurrecting something from nothing, doing someone's brakes or painting a car Pappy was making sure it was getting done right.

Pappy lived life by the seat of his pants. He planned nothing and played harder than most. His wing man David Temple aka Johnny Bravo was like a son to him and was always there when Pappy needed him. They enjoyed late night jam sessions playing the guitar and harmonica and howling at the moon.

Pappy was dedicated to the American Legion in Alton, where he loved helping in the kitchen and served as the Chaplain. He was very close to his legion friends and family and missed them dearly while he had been sick.

He was predeceased by his parents and twin brother John Feger.

A Memorial Gathering will be held on Saturday, April 14, 2018 from 5-8pm at the American Legion on Route 28N in Alton, NH, family and friends are welcome.  Cremation care by Peaslee Alton Funeral Home.
