Charles Stoneham Feeney
Aug. 28, 1950-March 11, 2021
Palo Alto, California

Charles Stoneham Feeney Jr. lost his battle with cancer on March 11, 2021. He died with the love of his life, Ann Lamchick Feeney, at his side. He passed peacefully having the benefit of his daughters Emma and Allison able to share his spirit and strength as he moved out of this world.

The son of Charles “Chub” Stoneham Feeney, Sr. and Margaret Ann Hoppock he was always known as Stoney. Born in New York City he moved with his family to the Bay Area in 1956 along with the newly franchised San Francisco Giants. The family connections to major league baseball would be a permanent imprint on his life. He was the loving brother to Katharine “Katy” Feeney.

He attended Burlingame High School and University of the Pacific after a short stint at Arizona State. Following graduation, he began work in baseball with the Chicago Cubs and soon became general manager of their Midland Cubs minor league franchise. He then took a position with the San Francisco Giants as Assistant to General Manager Spec Richardson.

Renewing his love for the Bay Area, he soon became designated one of the City’s Top 10 bachelors in San Francisco Magazine. His bachelor days became short lived as he met and married Ann Lamchick in 1983. Stoney moved on to a successful career in sports equipment and wine sales proving himself an astute entrepreneur and a better boss to himself versus being bossed. Working for himself allowed more afternoons on the golf course and opened up more time to nurture his remarkable daughters to grow into the amazing women they are today. In retirement Stoney truly found his calling by becoming a Marshall at Stanford GC liberating his innate ability to tell golfers to hurry up and move along.

Stoney was a devoted friend to so, so many. The twinkle in his eye often accompanied a wry quip and a hearty laugh. He had a big “inside voice” and the warmest heart imaginable. He never passed on the opportunity to take a stray into his home and was always happy to have a Golden by his side. His love of life was only surpassed by his love of his family. He resided in Palo Alto for the last 30 years with his wife Ann devoted to her and his two daughters Emma and Allison. He is survived by his brother John and his wife Joyce, brother Will and his wife Brenda and sister Mary Hall and her husband Andrew.

In recognition of his life, the family requests donations be made to the Peninsula Humane Society or the American Cancer Society.
