He has been the rock of the family. His wonderful spirit and kindness will live on in all of us and we will miss him always. Our loving thoughts are with everyone through this difficult time.

Felix was the kind of brother-in-law a person can truly say they are fortunate to have. He was always giving of himself. What is so unforgetable about him is that he always had time to stop and chat with anyone that crossed his path, no one was a stranger to him. He always made you feel like you were his best friend. And, he always had time to help anyone in need. He will be missed but never forgotten. RIP Felix, until we meet again.

I will always remember Felix with that wonderful smile whenever I saw him. And as always very devoted to his love of his life Irene and his children and grand daughter. He was indeed a gentle and caring person, just like Tio Felix, and he will be missed by all who are close to him and knew him.
Irene, you were with him thru it all and the loss you are feeling right now will ease as time goes by and you will cherish all the good times and
wonderful memories you shared with him and the family.
That goes for Alice who along with others helped him become the great person that he was. And to thr rest of the family, Tia Leonor brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins
Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
May the Good Lord continue to bless you and comfort you through this difficult times.
