Robert Elliott Feyler
One of a kind — true gentleman
Robert Elliott “Bob†Feyler, 74, formerly a longtime resident of Wilmington and Revere, passed away peacefully on Dec. 21, 2019, at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.
Bob was born on Feb. 18, 1945, the dear son of the late Kenneth and Alice (Cook) Feyler.  He was raised and educated in Revere and a graduate of Revere High School.  Bob loved his upbringing in Revere and enjoyed his first job working at the Revere Beach amusement park.  Bob grew up with a love of cars, boats and being by the ocean.
In October of 1966 he joined the United States Air Force and proudly served the country.  Bob completed several training courses and was stationed at Lackland and Shepard Air Force Bases in Texas.  He was released from active duty and returned home to his family.
Bob married the “love of his life†Diana Paradis and the couple settled in Wilmington. He was dedicated to spending his time with his family, which included regular visits to their second home in Maine; a home built by Bob.  While there he enjoyed snowmobiling, maintaining his property with his tractors and making sure that his children and grandchildren always had a great time.Â
Bob worked hard for his family; he started as an installer for New England Telephone which later became AT&T and finally Verizon.  Bob’s work ethic, great personality and vast knowledge led him up through the ranks in the company.  When he retired from the phone company, he took a position at Textron in Wilmington, where he made many good friends.
Bob’s other passion was spending summers on his boat in Essex where he enjoyed fishing and exploring Crane Beach.  He was also a “jack of all trades†and especially enjoyed carpentry. Â
Later in life, he found great joy in his grandchildren whom he adored.  On a regular basis, he would visit his children and grandchildren for dinner which was always followed by working on a project around their house.
Bob was truly the most kind, caring, thoughtful and patient man; thoughts that were resonated by everyone who met him.  Bob’s legacy will be the influence he had on all who knew him and that was to be kind, giving and respectful to others.  He was certainly “one of a kind†and a true gentleman; Bob will forever be loved and missed by many.
Bob was the beloved husband of Diana M. (Paradis) Feyler, devoted father of David Feyler and his wife, Kerry of Wilmington, Susan Sugrue and her husband, Jim of Keller, Texas, Kerri Staffier and her husband, Mark of Middleton and the late Daniel Elliott Feyler; devoted “Grampie†and “Bobum†to Daniel Feyler, Michael Feyler, Matthew Sugrue, Victoria Sugrue, Adam Staffier and Colin Staffier; dear brother of Kenneth Feyler and his wife, Dorothy of Peabody.  Bob was also the “special uncle†to Ellen Gill, Peter Feyler as well as many Paradis Family nieces and nephews.
