Aloys "Al" Feist, 66, died at St. Alexius Medical Center in Bismarck, ND, on December 1, 2011, after a year-long battle with cancer.
Funeral services were held at Hebron Public School Gym at the school where he taught before retiring.
Aloys Kasper, son of Nicklaus K. and Magdalena (Schwahn) Feist, was born on July 19, 1945, in Linton, ND. He grew up in Strasburg, ND, and he married his high school sweetheart, Dorothy Nagel, on August 20, 1966. He graduated from Valley City Teachers College in 1967 with a degree in teaching, began his teaching career at Hebron Public School in 1967 where he taught English and German, coached many sports, and served as athletic director. Al taught there for 43 years until he retired in May 2010.
Al was very active in Hebron and served in many positions in St. Ann's Church, Knights of Columbus, pastoral diocesan council, Hebron Education Association, lifetime member of ND Education Association, ND Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association, Lions, 4th Degree Knights of Columbus, President of the International Germans from Russia Heritage Society and the local chapter, Booster Club, Hebron Music Boosters, Jaycees, Park Board, Community Hospital Board, charter member of the Hebron Dollars for Scholars, and recently received the Dollars for Scholars Chapter Hero Award.
Al enjoyed the outdoors and helping out on the farm. He always was there to help others and spent hours mowing lawns and helping out friends and neighbors. His joy in life was spending time with his children and grandchildren whether it be attending sporting activities, school events, or just holding one of his grandchildren on his lap.
Al is survived by his wife, Dorothy, and their five children, Nicolette (Mike) Gietzen, Bismarck, Claudia (Jason) Wehri, Hebron, Lisa (Kent) Wanner, Fargo, Jonathan (Kristine) Feist, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Melanie (Mike) Jacobson, Center; and nineteen grandchildren, Lauren, Morgan, and Dylan Gietzen, Allyssa, Logan, Braden, Collin, and Addison Wehri, Alexis, Daniel, Anthony, Erika, Mark, and Miriam Wanner, Andrew and Allie Feist, Mykaela, Tristan, and Hunter Jacobson. He is also survived by three sisters, Rosalie (Francis) Fergel, Mary Ann (Paul Larry) Wolf, and Marcella (Don) Lammert; one sister-in-law, Karen (Hal) Weninger; two brothers, Patrick (Sandy) Feist, and Irvin (Sue) Feist; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, infant Jerome and Jerome; and one grandson, Paul Wanner.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be given to a scholarship fund that will be set up for students of Hebron.
