Lt. Gov. Roach Mourns Passing of Henry Feuerzeig

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Henry L. Feuerzeig, Esq., a distinguished member of the Virgin Islands Bar, whose decades of service to this community crosses the various sectors.

Though Feuerzeig is perhaps best known by many for his service as a Judge of the Territorial Court of the Virgin Islands, his community contributions are equally noteworthy. Highly regarded for his legal acumen, Feuerzeig, will be remembered as well for his charitable giving and for his kind and caring ways.

I am privileged to have known him as a friend, colleague, and mentor over a span of more than 40 years. I extend deepest condolences to his wife Penny with whom I worked at the Virgin Islands Daily News, and to his daughter Darcy who I practically watched grow up. I know that this loss is particularly difficult as it follows the recent passing of Paul, their beloved son.

Feuerzeig was a distinguished man of integrity who served the Virgin Islands community exceptionally well. He was a past president of the V.I. Bar Association, outstanding attorney in private practice, long-standing member of the Hebrew Congregation of St. Thomas, and a generous contributor to the community.
