Shelburne, VT – Samuel B Feitelberg, 93, of Shelburne, VT passed away on the night of March 16, 2023 at The McClure-Miller Respite House. The son of Dr. Abraham and Rose Feitelberg, Sam was born in the Bronx, New York in the shadow of Yankee Stadium. His life was shaped by his love for his family and his belief that every human being has the right to strive towards their highest creative potential.

In 1952 Sam earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Columbia University, a Certificate of Physical Therapy from Columbia’s College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1953 and a Masters of Arts from Columbia University Teachers College in 1954.  Sam holds a Certificate of Labor Administration from the Harvard University Graduate School of Business (1980) and an honorary Doctorate of Science degree from Utica College (2015).

From 1954 to 1956, Sam served in the U.S. Army Medical Specialist Corps assigned to Walter Reed Army Hospital as a staff physical therapist.  It was there he was inspired to help move physical therapy into its own professional realm. Discharged in the midst of the polio epidemic, he returned to The Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center as its Chief Pediatric Physical Therapist. He began his academic career in 1959 as an instructor in the Physical Therapy Program at Columbia University. In 1965-1970 he was chairman of Physical Therapy at Downstate Medical Center, SUNY Brooklyn. He then went on to establish and direct two schools of Physical Therapy: The University of Vermont in Burlington (1969-1996) and at the School of Science, Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York (1997-2011).  He was awarded the title of Professor Emeritus at the University of Vermont (1996) and Clarkson University (2011).

Sam was an active member of the American Physical Therapy Association since 1953, serving as president of the Section for Education (1986-89); a member of the Nominating Committee (1986-89); and a member of the Board of Directors (1990-93).  In 1997 he was named as a Catherine Worthingham Fellow by the APTA. He is also the recipient of the Lucy Blair Service Award in 1983, the Vermont Chapter Distinguished Service Award in 1990 and 1997, and the Diversity 2000 Award in 1996.  Sam dedicated himself to strengthening cultural equity, respect, and understanding in his work and personal life.  He worked tirelessly to suffuse diversity ethics and cultural proficiency as part of campus life, physical therapy education, and patient services as essential to developing a responsive and compassionate society.  He created opportunities for young people from marginalized communities to attend schools of physical therapy. His work lives on in the Samuel B. Feitelberg Endowed Scholarship established by Clarkson University to benefit a physical therapy student who share his commitment for service and advocacy for underserved or culturally diverse populations.

Sam’s vision of physical therapy included its application in national and global pursuits. He worked with NASA at the Langley Space Center in Virginia developing programs to assist astronauts performing tasks in a weightless environment.  That research became incorporated into therapy for people with Parkinson’s Disease.

Sam delighted in bringing teams of people together.  He spoke humbly of how much he learned from his patients.  He revered his faculty and found tremendous promise for the future in his students.  His wisdom came from what others taught him through their experiences together.

Some of Sam’s proudest achievements came later in life when in conjunction with Rotary’s Hands To Honduras he helped to establish the Oscar Edgardo Pineda Castro Rehabilitation Center for children in Tela, Honduras. For over 16 years Sam was inspired and forever grateful to the wonderful staff and patients in Tela and to all those that traveled and supported the center and its mission.  In 2007 he was named a Paul Harris Fellow by the Shelburne-Charlotte-Hinesburg Rotary Club. Sam was a devoted Rotarian and treasured the many friendships he made within his Chapter.

Sam also played a pivotal role in the construction of the Shelburne Veterans’ Monument.  He was honored to have participated in this project and loved the camaraderie of his fellow veterans. He treasured Saturday morning fundraising for the Monument under the Veterans’ pop-up tent at the Shelburne Farmers Market. He was extremely grateful to the dedicated committee that helped make the project come to life, and to the town of Shelburne and everyone who contributed to the project. Being a Veteran truly touched his heart.  

Sam enjoyed restoring old boats, cars, houses, and his extraordinary collection of Lionel trains.  A day well spent was sitting by the lake with family and friends at the family’s summer cabin on Lake Champlain.

Sam was fortunate to spend almost 70 years with the love of his life, his wife Gail and their 4 children, Cher, Debbie (Poulin) and son-in-law Tony, Lisa (Davison) and son-in-law Mark and son Michael and daughter-in-law Dana.  Sam’s grandchildren, Kyle Coulam, Adam, Jordan and Sophie Davison, Daniel Feitelberg, along with Lena Biggs, Shane and Shannon Poulin were an endless source of pride for all they have accomplished and the wonderful people they have become. The family will forever miss his wonderful stories, lessons, sense of humor and unconditional love.

Visiting hours for Sam will be held on Saturday, March 25, 2023 from 4:00-6:00pm at Ready Funeral Service, South Chapel, 261 Shelburne Rd, Burlington, VT.

A celebration of Sam’s life will take place later this spring.

We would like to thank the University of Vermont Medical Center and the McClure Miller Respite House for their love, respect, dignity, and excellent medical care.

Ronald Olmsted, 87, passed away on January 12, 2023.  Memorial services will be held Friday Jan. 20 at 10:30 a.m. at the Bismarck Funeral Home.  The service will be livestreamed on the Bismarck Funeral Home website under Ronald’s obituary.  Internment will take place at 1 p.m. at the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery, Mandan. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the North Dakota Veterans Home Foundation, contacting them at 701-683-6500 or via email at ndvh@nd.gov.

Ronald Duane (Welder) Olmsted was born on March 31, 1935, to George and Katherine (Kary) Welder at the family home on Sweet Avenue in Bismarck. When he was 2 years old, his father died unexpectedly.

Young Ronnie and his mother moved back to the home of her parents George and Elizabeth Kary in Mandan for five years with Katherine’s younger siblings who were like his brothers and sisters. Some of those aunts and uncles were younger than him.

On September 7, 1940, Katherine married Charles E. Olmsted who raised Ron as his own going so far as to adopt him. After that, Ron lived most of his life in Bismarck where he enjoyed hunting, fishing, baseball and softball.

Among his childhood highlights was getting to meet his sports idol New York Yankee great Babe Ruth in 1947. A 12-year-old Ron was among a group of about 50 Bismarck-area kids and adults who greeted the retired Sultan of Swat when his plane had a brief stopover at the Bismarck Airport. Ron proudly received the Babe’s autograph.

Although he was small for his age, Ron would not let that stop him from excelling in sports. For example, he struck out many Junior Legion baseball opponents when he stood on the mound. His skills at the bat kept Bismarck on the scoreboard as well. His mother Katherine often said, “Ronnie was a stick!” in reference to his hitting skills.

When Ron was 16, Bismarck was favored to win the 1951 North Dakota state Junior Legion baseball tournament. That event allowed him to compete against two future professional athletes. One was Wahpeton’s “huge-man-among-boys” pitcher Steve Myhra who later played NFL football with the Baltimore Colts. The other was some guy called Roger Maris from Fargo Shanley who, of course, later achieved stardom with the New York Yankees. Bismarck took second place when most of the team could not hit Myhra’s pitches in the championship game. Though they lost, Ron went 3 for 4 against Myhra in that final contest. Ron recalled that Myhra “dusted” him in his last at-bat.

Later when he played amateur baseball, Ron participated in an exhibition game against a team featuring Satchel Paige, one of the greatest pitchers of all time. Ron did not fare well against Page, who still had plenty of juice in his arm even though he was close to 50 years old.

Ron also was proud of his fastpitch softball playing days, which included a stint with the renowned Roosevelt Bar team of Bismarck.

After graduating from Bismarck High School in 1953 he attended Bismarck Junior College (BJC) for two years which, at the time, resided on the top floor of the high school. After graduating from BJC in 1955, Ron joined the U.S. Army, serving two years in Japan during the peacetime era between the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

Upon his return stateside, Ron worked at Sioux Sporting Goods and later Sherwin-Williams in Bismarck. In 1961, he married Darlene Roll at St. Vincent’s Catholic Church in Mott, North Dakota. That union gave the world his three sons: Mark, Monte, and Kent.

In 1970, Ron returned to college at Dickinson State University, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in education. While studying there in his mid-30s, he made two interesting choices. Ron initially stayed in the dorm (bad idea), and he played baseball with a bunch of 20-year-olds as teammates (good idea). While serving as catcher for the baseball team, Ron earned the nickname “Grandpa” from his teammates.

Upon graduating from college, Ron returned to Bismarck and served as a substitute teacher. He also worked at Vantine’s Paint and Glass. Ron soon joined the North Dakota Highway Department, where he worked for many years first in personnel and later as a civil rights officer. Ron also was a longtime member of the Bismarck-Mandan Elks Club.

He spent most of his retirement in Bismarck until moving to the North Dakota Veterans Home in Lisbon in 2014 where he spent the remainder of his life. He died there on Jan. 12. Ron was preceded in death by his parents George Welder, Katherine Olmsted and Charles Olmsted.

Surviving family members include his sons Mark (Christine), Monte and Kent along with grandchildren Dylan, Vincent and Sarah; brothers Charles (Gloria) and Gary (Shirley); sisters Joann (Carl) Copeland, Judy (Steve) Nelson and Vicky (Allen) Weisenburger plus numerous nieces and nephews.
