William C. Feige III

William C. Feige III, 86, of Glen Arm, MD, passed peacefully at his home on Tuesday, April 15th, 2025. Born in Baltimore to William C. and Mary (née Cowman) Feige, Jr., Bill spent his early years in the Lake Montebello area of the city. He treasured his summers that were spent at the Conners’ Inn on 10th Street in Ocean City, MD where he fished for marlin and wahoo, and reveled in early morning swims in the surf. He was a proud graduate of The Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, Class of 1957, where he excelled in the Poly “A Course.” He went on to Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie Mellon University), earning degrees in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering in 1961. During his time at CMU, Bill was a walk-on swimmer but found his true passion as a “pusher” for the iconic buggy races held during the Spring Carnival. He cherished his college years and often returned to Pittsburgh to reconnect with friends and attend alumni reunion events. He was also a member of the distinguished Order of the May. After college, Bill honorably served his country, first on active duty in the Army at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, and later with the Maryland Army National Guard, where he specialized in Construction Engineering. Following his service, Bill joined his father’s consulting engineering firm, Wm. C. Feige Jr and Co., contributing his expertise to several notable projects, including the Maryland National Building and the Baltimore Post Office Building. When his father passed in 1974, Bill continued to lead the business as Feige and Co. until his retirement. In his later years, Bill found great joy and fulfillment through the meaningful friendships and camaraderie he experienced at the Jacksonville Senior Center, where he embraced a wonderful sense of community by joining the bridge group, book club, and attending member outings. He was deeply passionate about the outdoors and had a special affinity for animals. His love for pets was evident throughout his life, but none more so than his faithful companion Dusty, who was by his side for 17 years. Bill also found great joy in feeding the wild birds and observing the array of wildlife that visited his yard. He was a devoted steward of nature and cared deeply about conservation, particularly the preservation of national parks. Bill was predeceased by his sister, Donna Feige, and is survived by his two daughters and sons-in-law: Pamela Compo and her husband, Gilbert, of Virginia Beach, VA, and Deborah Movizzo and her husband Paul, of Waterville Valley, NH. He was “Pop-Pop” to five grandsons: Paul Jr., Roland, Anthony, James, and Dominic. Bill was immensely proud of the boys and took a keen interest in watching them grow and thrive. A celebration of life will be held in his honor on June 21st at 1pm at Brookside Event Center in Jacksonville. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Long Green Volunteer Fire Company.
