Raphael Feldman, 74, a beloved husband, father, and grandfather passed away on September 4, 2026.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Raphael spent most of his life in New York, where he built a successful career through ambition, determination, and hard work. A true self-made man, he took pride in creating a life and a business through his own efforts.
Raphael was a proud Jew and the child of Holocaust survivors. The history and resilience of his family were an important part of his heritage and the story he carried with him throughout his life. He was part of a generation that inherited both the memory of an unimaginable tragedy and the responsibility to build a life filled with family, love, laughter, and hope. With confidence and bravery he forged his own path as the first member of his family to be born in America.
Kind, ambitious, and funny, Raphael had a great love for comedy, television, and movies. He appreciated a good joke, a great story, and the ability to find humor in life. His sense of humor was one of the qualities that made him so memorable to the people who knew him.
Above all, Raphael was a family man. He is survived by his wife, Michele, and his four children, Corey, Sabrina, Stephanie, and Shane. He was also a proud grandfather to four grandchildren, who brought him incredible joy.
Raphael’s life was a testament to perseverance, ambition, family, and the importance of finding reasons to laugh along the way. He built a life of his own while carrying forward the legacy of those who came before him.
He will be deeply missed by his family and friends and will forever remain a part of the lives of those who loved him.
May his memory be a blessing.
