James K. Feeney, Sr., 85, of West Palm Beach, FL, and Westport, MA, died on July 2 following a lengthy battle with cancer.
Jim was born in Fargo, ND, son of the late Dorothy and Thomas Feeney. The youngest brother of four, Jim made his mark early, attending the Senate Page School at age 16, and serving in the office of William “Wild Bill” Langer from North Dakota.
Jim thrived while in Washington, D.C., but he declined a repeat year to return to Shanley High School in Fargo. Many were dismayed at this decision, seeing a bright future for Jim in law and politics. Jim had other plans.
