J.L. 'Jack' Feldmann, 86, Post employee, volunteer
John L. "Jack" Feldmann, who in a 48-year career with the Kentucky and Cincinnati Post newspapers rose from copy boy to business manager, died at 5:30 a.m. Wednesday at St. Elizabeth Hospice Unit, Covington. He was 86.
Mr. Feldmann spent most of his near half-century with the papers working out of The Kentucky Post's Covington office, where he was an ad salesman before being promoted to business manager. He later served in the latter position at The Cincinnati Post.
"His job was to make sure the papers were making money, " said Mr. Feldmann's widow, Romilda Steffen Feldmann of Perry Park.
During his newspaper career, Mr. Feldmann was very active in his community. He was a past president of the Covington Rotary Club and the Northern Kentucky St. Vincent de Paul Society, a former board member of the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, a former Cold Spring volunteer firefighter and a former member of the Cold Spring planning board.
He helped to get the Panorama Apartments for seniors built in Covington and served as president of its board for six years.
After retirement, the Feldmanns spent two years building a home at the Perry Park golf resort in Owen County. There, Mr. Feldmann liked to do woodworking, play golf and cook.
"He collected recipes, " said a daughter, Tressie Lewis of Cincinnati.
Her husband was a "happy-go-lucky guy who always had a joke or a story, " said Romilda Feldmann. "Even after he got sick, he always had a smile for the nurses."
His health failed in the last year, she said, when he had two bypass surgeries and two strokes.
