Community Foundation Mourns Hank Feuerzeig

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Henry L. Feuerzeig, emeritus board member and beloved community leader. Hank, as he was affectionately known, made countless invaluable contributions to our Foundation and the community. He was known as a brilliant attorney and judge, a passionate advocate for his community, and a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend.

Hank was a founding member of the CFVI Board of Directors in 1990 and served the Foundation for many years in that role, most recently as Director Emeritus. At CFVI, we will remember him most for his unwavering commitment, vision, and leadership. In the more than 30 years he spent on the CFVI Board, Hank was always there for the Foundation. No task was too great or too small—whether providing legal counsel, drafting and editing documents, exploring complex legal implications, or simply making sangria for our Angel events.

In 2002, Hank and his wife Penny established The Feuerzeig Family Fund at CFVI, continuing their longstanding tradition of generosity and dedication to the Virgin Islands community.

Thanks to Hank, the Virgin Islands and CFVI are better than he found us. There are truly no words to express our profound gratitude for all that Hank was—and the immense void his passing leaves behind. His legacy will undoubtedly live on through our shared passion for the CFVI mission: to be a catalyst for positive change here in our beloved Virgin Islands communities.
