Felix Padilla

My memory of Phil Padilla will be one of enjoyment because of the sweetness that he expressed to me. I am a very good friend of his son Robert and I got to spend a couple of times with Phil and his son. He told me what a great son he had in "Bobby". Phill called his son Robert or Bobby. I wish that I had been able to spend more time with Phil and Bob. Phil wanted to take his son to San Louis Valley to show him where he was raised but his health prevented that trip from taking place. I feel...

Our thoughts and prayers go with you.

My Uncle Felix was very special to me. When I was a baby, my hair was blonde and he nicknamed me "Old Yeller" after the movie of the yellow dog. The nickname stuck and even when I was older and my hair turned brown, he would sometimes call me "Yeller". Uncle Felix was also very special to my mother, Corinne Navarro who passed away in 2003. The picture I am submitting is one them together taken in 1996. Uncle Felix was my last surviving uncle and he will be missed very much.
