Nov 21, 2014 at 16:31 comment added Pietro Majer I think it is safer to have the family of balls locally finite too, and not only disjoint. Or also, to have the support of $f_n$ into the ball of radius $\epsilon/2$. Otherwise the resulting glueing function may fail to be continuous. For instance, in $\ell_\infty$ the unit balls centered at $(1+1/n)e_n$ are disjoint and well separated from each other, but any nbd of $0$ meets almost all of them, which allows the glued $f$ to be possibly discontinuous.
