in honor of Felix.

Time has a way of passing before we realize it. Is it possible that this summer marks 5 years since Felix died? Perhaps because he is often remembered it seems he just left us. I vividly recall the day I met him, and I also recall that it wasn’t just my sister that was so taken with him. My youngest son was an infant, today he is 28. He also still carries the nickname “The King” which was hilariously bestowed upon him by his Uncle Felix. All of my sons loved and respected their Uncle Felix. Our entire family did. And when Jocelyn said they were getting married I was so happy for them both because they belonged together. I know that I am one of so many that continue to miss Felix. He genuinely knew what was important in life. And when I reflect back on stories he told me, or how he carried out his life, I continue to learn from him and, of course, miss him. May he rest in the peace that he richly deserves.
With Love, Justine Kellleher

Pookie,
You were a brother who gave his siblings love, you were a son who made his parents proud, you were a man of honor and humor. I have many memories of us growing up and I will hold them close to my heart forever
I love you and I will miss you. Robin

Uncle Felix was the kindest of people. He was always calm, even in the face of his diagnosis he didn't want to dwell on the negative which made my last visits with him feel so much more enjoyable than a goodbye has any right to be. He always cared about what was going on with me, and everyone else who he knew. I am lucky that he was a part of my family- he was a great role model for me.

I love you Uncle Felix, and I'm going to miss you. Thank you for everything

I never met Felix but know his sister Robin who displays all the love of a beautiful family. My deepest sympathy to all.

Our family offers you our sincere sympathy! Felix was my dad partner while serving on the Cleveland Police Force. I got to know him and his wife when they would come out to visit my Dad. I always enjoyed being with them and hearing all the stories, and laughing! What a great guy! Always friendly and a smile on his face. Jocelyn, you are in my prayers daily and I hope and pray that you are able to find peace and comfort knowing he is at rest and hopefully most likely enjoying a reunion with Ted! May God bless you and comfort you! All our love, Jeff and Chris Hoover and Family

Felix (Phil) was a wonderful man. He took care of his family with much love. I remember a funny moment when he came to my Dad's funeral with Doots and I hadn't seen her in a long time and asked if she was his wife! Boy did I get the Look!! Seriously we all loved him very much and I was saddened by his getting ill. Rest in Peace, Phil.

I remember looking through old black and white photos at mom and dad’s house, where there was a particular photo of you, and I, and mom, at the Cleveland Zoo; across the bottom of the photo, in mom’s handwriting was the caption, “Pookie and Tommy at the zoo 1946”. You and I were both dressed for winter with heavy plaid wool coats, and equally heavy bib type winter pants, our hats were the old circa 1940’s Elmer Fudd hats with the fur ear flaps, I imagine quite stylish at the time for a two and four year old.
To this day, every time that I watch the scene in the movie “Christmas Story” where Ralphie’s mother is getting his younger brother Randy dressed for school, in almost an identical winter outfit that mom had dressed us in, I flash back to the photo of you and I at the zoo with mom in 1946. You have been there since my beginning, you have been, and are a great brother, I do miss you!

I extend my sincere condolences to the Acierno family for their loss. I am so sorry.
Felix was a great brother-in-law. He was quick witted with an amazing personality and a hilarious sense of humor. I think that he generally made me laugh any time we talked. I loved him. I miss him.
Felix was an awesome uncle to my sons. He set a great example of living life to the fullest and doing so with kindness and integrity. My sons remember Felix as an important part of their childhood and their relationships continued into adulthood. My sons loved their Uncle Felix. They miss him.
There is so much more I could say but I’ll just promise that Felix will always be loved and remembered by the Wells family.

If there were more marines like Felix, the world would be a safer place. If there were more police officers like Felix, the world would be a more just place. If there were more people like Felix, the world would be a more loving place. He will be dearly missed, and always remembered.

The best day of my life was the day I became your wife. I thought the worst was the day you left. Turns out each day just keeps getting harder. How am I supposed to do with without my better half? I love you so deeply and I will until the day I take my last breath. You are missed every second of every day.
