Not sure what to say?

Do you remember when?

I am so sorry I will not be there today. Alan was a very good man.

Felix was our couple therapist. Very saddened by his death.

A truly caring, insightful and compassionate man who touched the lives of many. He will be missed.

Felix was a great fighter for justice: curious, committed and always generous with his brilliance and his love. He was also an amazing writer. I hope his poetry and short stories will be made broadly available. I knew Felix through his long time partner, Miranda, and came to know him more individually toward the end of his life.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Felix's passing...
He has touched countless people's lives in many positive ways.
I will always remember him as smiling in that wonderful way that he did.

Felix was a stand up comrade. He will be missed. Another soldier for the people gone, but not forgotten. One Love.

When I heard he had passed beyond time I lit a white candle for him, reaching out to send my love with him to the other side of now. Then I...
