My dear cousins, Words alone can not express what I feel in the loss of your dad. I will always remember him as he always encouraged me about our Italian language and very proud of it. Uncle Felice is now in a great resting place and with past family members. May God Bless each of you during these difficult times. Love cousin Nick

Dear family of Felice, As a neighbor for 33 years, we will miss the wonderful smiles and excitement of "Felix". There are so many memories over the years from help with cement to "trick or treat" treats for the adults. When our children were little they always enjoyed stopping on their bikes to chat with Felix. Although they didn't always understand him, they always knew he was a kind, loving and compassionate man. He will be missed. May God grant you comfort and peace at this difficult...
