Richard A. Fera

Richard A. Fera, age 64 years, of Lebanon Borough, NJ, died Tuesday, September 11, 2012.

Born in Philadelphia, PA, November 5, 1947, son of the late Al and Muriel Fera. He had formerly resided in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ for fifteen years before moving to Newtown, CT and Lebanon Borough, NJ.

Rick’s life, which was ended way too soon, was nothing short of an adventure. He was planning a trip across the country to really get to know the America we all love. In his words “I just want to see it.” His love for America and the road cruising by at a sluggish 90 miles per hour in his Corvette was the way he wanted to discover the true Mayberry’s of our nation.

If you wanted to find Rick on a Saturday or Sunday morning all you had to do was head to the golf course. Rick was on the 18th hole before most of us were finished with breakfast! When his first granddaughter was born he couldn’t wait to give her her first golf club. There was nothing he loved more than spending time with his family and granddaughters.

Surviving are two daughters and sons-in-law, Robyn and Michael Matkowski of Hoboken, NJ, Caryn and Sean McKay of High Bridge, NJ; two granddaughters, Fera and Ainsley McKay both of High Bridge, NJ; two brothers and sister-in-law Scott and Ronda Fera of Newtown, CT and Lance and Kim Fera of Rochester Hill Michigan.

A Memorial Service will be held Friday, September 21, 2012 at 3:00 p.m. in the Holcombe-Fisher Funeral Home, 147 Main Street, Flemington, NJ. Interment will be private. There will be no calling hours.
