Eric Feye, 43, of Putnam Valley, New York, passed away on June 3, 2026.
Eric was born in Yonkers, New York, to Marie and Frank Feye. As a child, he moved to Lake Peekskill, where he spent most of his life.

Eric proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps from 2001 to 2005, including two tours during Operation Iraqi Freedom. He carried immense pride in his service and in the brotherhood he found among his fellow Marines. Eric often said that becoming a United States Marine was the greatest honor of his life.

Eric had a deep appreciation for history, loved traveling, and enjoyed building things both big and small. There wasn’t a Lego set he couldn’t conquer. He found comfort in the hobbies and interests that brought him peace and connection. More than anything, Eric cherished the time he spent with his nieces and nephews, who brought immense joy to his life. His love for them was unmistakable, and the memories they shared will be treasured forever.

Eric is survived by his mother, Marie Holland (Paul) his sister, Meghan Anzano (Wes Cookingham), his brother, Ryan Feye; his former spouse, Christina Feye; and his beloved nieces and nephews, Angeleas, Isabella (Goddaughter), Sofia, Kayleigh, Aydan, Laila, Laine, Jazmyne, Ian, Mason, Jaxan, and Fenyx.

He was predeceased by his father, Frank Feye; his stepfather, Edward Gambichler; his grandparents; and several beloved aunts and uncles. The family finds comfort in knowing that Eric is reunited with those he loved so deeply and that they were there to welcome him home.

Eric’s life was marked by both strength and struggle. Despite the challenges he faced, those who loved him will remember the laughter he shared, the kindness he showed, and the courage he demonstrated throughout his life.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Eric’s memory to the Semper Fi & America’s Fund.

Funeral arrangements have not been finalized, but will be posted here.

Paul Joseph McAllister, 78, of Garnerville, NY, passed away on April 3, 2026, surrounded by his wife and children.

Paul was born in New York City on July 19, 1947. He was a graduate of New York University and Brooklyn Law School and spent his early career with the Legal Aid Society’s Juvenile Rights and Criminal Defense Divisions in the Bronx. He went on to open his own law practice where he continued his life’s work over the next 40+ years as a respected advocate and trial attorney. During his lengthy career, he represented indigent defendants as a member of the New York State Court Assigned Counsel panel and the Assigned Counsel panels for the U.S. District Courts in the Southern and Eastern Districts. He also served as a member of the elite New York State Capital Defender’s Office panel of lawyers assigned to represent indigent defendants in capital punishment cases until capital punishment was ruled unconstitutional in New York. He was a frequent guest lecturer for Professor Barry Scheck’s Criminal Defense Clinic at Cardozo Law School for many years and also guest lectured at NYU Law School. He had a number of high profile legal cases during his career and although he may not have had the public name recognition of some of his peers, he certainly had the respect, professional recognition, and esteem of those peers, and of colleagues, adversaries, the judiciary, and the many clients he so capably represented.

Paul was passionate about criminal justice and was a skilled negotiator and talented litigator. He was a strong believer in every person’s constitutional right to the presumption of innocence and to a fair and impartial trial. He felt incredibly fortunate to be able to spend his professional career doing what he loved most and believed in for so many years. He was a fierce advocate for his clients, as well as any family member or friend in need of assistance. He would not back down from a fight, a trait that characterized him throughout his life including his most recent battle with a terminal illness.

As a young man, Paul spent much of his personal time enjoying the out-of-doors, hiking, camping, and exploring the world. He loved the beaches of Cape Cod and looked forward for decades to his annual trips to the Cape, usually in caravan with extended family and friends, and certain to include beautiful sunrises and sunsets, great meals, much laughter, and other antics. He also looked forward to frequent visits and extended conversations with those he cherished and was always on hand with an entertaining tale or an abstract piece of knowledge.

Paul is survived by his loving wife Teodora, his children Melissa McAllister Wieler (Brian), Paul J. McAllister, Jr. (Emily), and Andrew McAllister (Gina), grandchildren Walter, Emily, and Lyra, and many loving nieces, nephews, and dear friends. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

A viewing will be held at Heritage Funeral Home in Putnam Valley, New York, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Thursday, April 9, immediately followed by a funeral service. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to MSK Giving in Paul’s memory.

Karl P. Baisley, age 88, a 58-year resident of Lake Peekskill, New York, passed away peacefully on February 25, 2026, after a long illness.

Karl was born and raised in Peekskill, New York, the son of Elmer Baisley and Thusnelda Winkelmann. Karl was predeceased by his wife of 62 years, Doris Baisley, and by his brother, Mark Baisley. He graduated from Peekskill High School in 1956 and proudly served his country in the United States Air Force. Committed to lifelong learning, Karl went on to graduate from Westchester Community College and later attended Pace University’s School of Business.

Karl built a long and respected career as a land surveyor, working for several civil engineering firms and contributing to numerous road and bridge projects throughout the region. He did tax preparation, volunteered assisting seniors with their taxes, and was a Notary Public.

An avid antique enthusiast and postcard collector, Karl was an active member of the Hudson Valley Half Moon Postcard Club. He also enjoyed classic films, especially military dramas, westerns, and horror movies.

He supported veterans' organizations, animal welfare, and wildlife charities. Karl had a deep respect for nature and instilled that same reverence in his family. Fondly known as “Dr. Doolittle,” he cared for neighborhood wildlife — from deer and raccoons to skunks — and could often be seen with birds and squirrels eating from his hands. He rescued turtles from busy roads, rehabilitated animals he found at construction sites, and gave countless stray cats and dogs a loving home.

Never one to shy away from sharing his opinions, Karl was known for offering advice — whether requested or not — and for speaking candidly about everything from politics to hairstyles and tattoos. He had a curious mind and took a keen interest in medical research, often sharing the latest information with friends and family.

What began as an unplanned honeymoon trip to Cape Cod became a family tradition, with many vacations on the Cape in the years that followed. Despite his declining health, Karl made a final family trip to the Cape last summer.

The center of his life was his family, around which all his activities revolved. He proudly took a keen interest in the development of his grandchildren's careers.

At the age of 85, Karl was baptized into the Roman Catholic Church. He took his faith seriously and regularly attended services at St. Columbanus church.

Karl leaves behind his brother, Albert, and three sons: Thane (and his late wife, Darlene), Duane, and Glen (Diana); and three grandchildren: Kate, Jessica (fiancé Randy), and Donovan (Alyssa).

Mass will be offered at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 14, 2026, at St. Columbanus Church, followed by internment at Hillside Cemetery, Cortlandt Manor, New York.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Putnam Humane Society in memory of Karl Baisley would be greatly appreciated.
