We at Sports Radio Service are sad to report the passing of Jerry Feitelberg our colleague, friend and reporter since 2000. Jerry had started out as an owner and pharmacist for Good Neighbor Pharmacy in Alameda.

Jerry retired from being a pharmacist in the early 2000s and went to work as an assistant trainer for the Oakland A’s under head trainer Barry Weinberg. After Jerry’s tenure on the A’s medical team he joined us at Sports Radio Service as a reporter doing analysis, podcasting, hosting remotes and sitting down to interview some of the well known journalists and athletes.

Jerry was 86 and he battled with health issues the last three years but tried as best as he could to get back to doing what he loved best and that was writing and podcast sports. One note should be taken of how driven he was while in the hospital this last year one of regular podcasters needed time off of an assignment and while in the hospital and under doctors care Jerry said he would do the podcast from his hospital room and didn’t miss a beat and did the podcast as if he wasn’t ailing at all. If it’s any comfort Jerry said he enjoyed just getting back on to do a recording again. It did his heart wonders.

Rest In Peace Jerry our good friend and colleague you’ve done well and your well loved in the sports and journalism community. You’ll be missed.

He will be forever loved and remembered by all who knew him, but especially by his 2 daughters, Jennifer and Amy, and their partners, Tim and Eden. He would like any donations made in his name to go to Boston Latin School.

Charlie O who podcasted Jerry’s tribute worked side by side with Jerry during Jerry’s time as a podcaster and beat writer during the Oakland A’s years.
