John Feagin's Funeral Service November 25th was a beautiful, but cold, West Point day, as John's family members and about 200 friends gathered in the Old Cadet Chapel for John's funeral service at 10 am. Included were Martha Feagin and her family: Randle and Melissa Feagin and daughter Whitney; Rob and Susie Feagin, and daughter Helen; and Nancy Feagin and her son Connor Carpenter; and Katherine (John's sister) and Jack Jeter and their family: Sally Jeter Gregg and her husband, Scott; John Jeter and Stephen Jeter. In addition to the Feagin and Jeter families, '55 was represented by Rich and Inez Cardillo, Todd Graham with daughter Tracey, Nancy Joseph, Roy and Sandra Lynn, and Dave and Caye Wheeler and their son David. Several of Bill Wix's children bolstered our ranks: Tom Wix and his wife Laura, and Linda Wix McGonagle. Many other West Point Classes were represented by athletes for whom John was either Team Physician, Orthopaedic Surgeon or, simply, friend and mentor. Duke University was similarly represented by athletes and medical scholars and doctors who were mentored and encouraged by John. Following the chapel services, John received full military honors in graveside services, and was inurned in the new columbarium sector immediately behind the Chapel. Fittingly, his adjacent neighbor is '55's Tommy Bell, who arrived only two weeks before John. May it be said, "Well done, John." Dave Wheeler 25 November 2019
