My Uncle Felix, affectionately known as "Pappy" to his nieces and nephews, is gone. He was the patriarch of our Polito family, and a bright shining light to all who knew him. Always happy, never complaining about his health problems, he was our hero. May God hold you in his loving hands forever, Pappy.

Anna and Jane,

I am so sorry for your loss of a wonderful human being. Felix was a genuine caring person who adored all of his family and who loved to have fun with them and the many friends in his life. He was a joy to work with and I will miss him. Let it bring comfort to you knowing all this and that he is in heaven today!
