My deepest sympathy. I have fond memories of Felix; when I was a child he was the kind man who gave us the lovely rocks. He had many interests and will be missed.



He will be in my thoughts and prayers.



Sincerely, Diane Paulini (daughter of Jim Konieczny)

Uncle Phil, we'll never forget how you miraculously found quarters behind our ears and told an endless stream of corny jokes to us as children. In our adulthood, your tenacity grew legendary and your jokes saltier; we always welcomed the chance to be around you. A city boy who adored the country, self taught and self made, we'll never forget your stories of cross-country travel, mushroom and rock hunting, nor your many interesting complicated theories of why things are the way they are. We are all your children; you are now the Lord's.



With our eternal love,

Your nieces and nephews
