Forgive my english...I dont have a college degree...I think I dont need one to say how much we love this Man...
I owe Mr. Felker what I am today.
My name is Antonio Schillagi; Mr. Felker called me “Eddy”. I came from Argentina in 1981 and had the honor to work for him as a housekeeper from 1984-1986.
My mother Iris Lima (R.I.P)worked for him and my aunt Bertha Lima also worked for him; at home and at the office.
Mr. Felker was and now is a true Angel.
My family deeply feels the lost of such an incredible person.
My condolences to Mrs. Gail.
God Bless his soul. RIP.

Antonio and Lucia Schillagi
