     He is survived by his wife: Betty Feldhake of Louisville; 5 children: Christina Feldhake of Flora, Tony (Joyce) Feldhake of Hord, Cheryl (Larry) Burroughs of Louisville; Bonnie (Mike) Bailey of Louisville; and Tim (Michelle) Feldhake of Clay City; 10 grandchildren: Jonathan (Cassie) Guinn of Xenia, Crickette (Michael) Bolyard of St. Peter, Jenna (Evan) Smith of Xenia, Joshua (Taylor) Burroughs of Louisville, Shelby (Jarvis) Eastin of Oakland City, IN, Levi Bailey and Garon Bailey of Louisville, Amber (Cody) McGee of Flora, Zachary (Taylor) Feldhake of Louisville, and Colten Feldhake of Clay City; 13 great-grandchildren along with one more on-the-way; 10 siblings: Diana Greuel of Louisville, Steve Feldhake of Watson, Marilyn (Wayne Deaton) Feldhake of Xenia, Rosalie (Paul) Weidner of Clay City, Max Feldhake of Louisville, Roy (Vicki) Feldhake of Louisville, Linda Feldhake of Chrisman, Jayne Feldhake of Louisville, Kathy (Jerry) Price of Rinard, and Pat (Tom) Greenwood of Xenia.  He was preceded in death by his parents and a sister-in-law: Susan Feldhake. 

     A funeral ceremony will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday, October 1, 2020, at Frank & Bright Funeral Home in Flora with Father Charles Anyaoku officiating.  Interment will follow in St. Stephen Cemetery.  Visitation will be from 5 until 8 p.m. on Wednesday at the funeral home and a rosary ceremony will begin at 7:30 p.m.  Memorial donations are suggested to either Shriners Hospitals for Children or St. Jude Children’s Hospital and these will be accepted through the funeral home.  To share a memory or condolence, visit: www.frankandbright.com
