Heinz Alfred Feibert, recently of Colchester, and formerly of East Northport, NY and New Ringgold, PA, passed away at Hartford Hospital on April 1, 2026. Heinz was born January 4, 1939 in Pirmasens, Germany and was the son of the late Karl Heinz and Johanna (Vatter) Feibert. Heinz apprenticed as a bookkeeper for 3 years, starting at the age of 14, at Firma J. Sandt, AG, in Pirmasens, and worked for them for 6 years. Heinz then emigrated from Germany to the United States in 1959, settling briefly in New York City where he met his future wife, and the love of his life, Gabriele Anna Kirsch. Heinz graduated from The Delahanty Institute's Drafting Division in 1961, attending school at night after work, 3 nights a week for 4 hours each night. This work ethic carried throughout his life in everything he did. Heinz & Gabi raised their family in East Northport for over 30 years, where they were members of the Huntington Liederkranz, a German singing society, and Heinz coached both of his children as members of the Cow Harbor Soccer Club. For the majority of his career, Heinz was employed by Charles Ross & Son Company in Hauppauge, NY, initially as a draftsman, and worked his way up to vice-president at Ross Metal Fabricators in Deer Park, NY. Heinz was a gentleman farmer at heart, spending many hours tending to his vegetable and fruit gardens, and mowing his lawn, especially once he retired and moved to Pennsylvania. Before having issues with his eyesight later in life, Heinz was an avid reader and talented woodworker.

Most importantly though, he will be remembered as a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. His loss will be mourned by many but he will always be remembered with love, especially by his wife, Gabriele of 64 years; his children and their spouses, Roland (Christine) Feibert of Syosset, Long Island, NY, Heidi (Robert) Esteve of Colchester, CT; grandchildren, Matthew (Marissa) Feibert, Caroline Feibert (fiance Michael Fernandez), Paul Esteve, and Alexander Esteve; great grandchildren, August and Rowan Feibert; and many extended family members and friends, in both the U.S. and Germany. The family wishes to thank the hospice care and nursing staff of the 4th floor at the Conklin Building at Hartford Hospital, for the compassionate care they provided. Funeral services will be held at the Aurora-McCarthy Funeral Home, 167 Old Hartford Rd, Colchester on Tuesday, April 7, 2026 beginning with a calling hour from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm followed by a brief service at the funeral home. Burial to follow in the New St. Andrew Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations in Heinzs memory may be made to the Colchester Garden Club or Read to Grow (a Connecticut nonprofit dedicated to bringing books and literacy to children), or to a charity of your choice.
