My End Is Near
This will probably be my last message to the good folks on the gun board.
I am signing off, probably for ever on Earth this week sometime. I’m constantly getting more tired every day; it’s getting into a logarithmic situation.
I have two sons who need to be entertained on the gunboard or elsewhere and Corky, Anthony and Tim know who they are. They are to stay in constant communication until one wants leave for other interests besides guns and ammo.
Other than that, please support anyone who’s interested in any kind of guns and reloading that the nice past time will continue and please, please, do not mention the word “weapon” on our board again; this is my primary pet peeve, which I’ve said nothing about principally because of the first of amendment and others' choice of words.
I love you guys; take care of one another through prayer like you’ve been doing before. I ask that those of you who say the rosary to please say it in my name and in the name of people who are deathly sick on the board that we do not know about.
Farewell,
…Felix

Felix,
There are no words.
You’re wisdom and willingness to share has shaped the way we relate to eachother in this sport, not just on this forum.
The fondest wish of every man in the evening of his life is that he can honestly say that he made a difference and have someone, anyone, agree with him.
Sir, I can say without a doubt that you have made a difference for me, and there are many here who will stand up and agree.
We will never forget the lessons you have taught us about life and how to live it well, and how to do good to those around us.
I don’t know how to say thank you. It’s not enough.
I don’t know how to say goodbye. It’s too soon.

Fare thee well Felix. I hope heaven is everything you think it will be, plus much more.

Felix,
I dont really know what to say. This board and its members, especially the active ones here, I consider family. I've been no stranger and have shared my life and frustrations to the board. The idea of losing such a valued member to Heaven is very emotional and to read your post causes my eyes to fill with tears of sadness. I have no other words than to say thank you for your support here and in other areas of life that we may never know about. I will keep you in my prayers and pray for a painfree transition while being supported by your friends, family and loved ones. Godspeed Felix. We love you and will miss you. Say hello to my father for me. He'll be waiting for you by the boolit range in the sky.

Felix,
I don't know what to say. A tear has caught my eye after reading the words you have posted this morning. I have learned an incredible amount from your short, and to the point, posts. They never gave the full picture and forced me to do my own research and draw my own conclusions. At the end of those excercises I knew what you were saying. Thank you for that.
Thank you for all the knowledge you passed to others long before I arrived here, and throughout my time here. Thank you for the insight into loading very accurate ammo, and how to stay competitive.
At the end of it all, all I can say is thank you for everything.
I will say many prayers for you and your family.
Take care,
Dick

Felix, I've never met you but you sharing your knowledge on this board has helped me and countless others. I appreciate it and thank you for it. Your presence will be missed.

Felix, we will miss you. You are in my prayers. It has been a pleasure to spend time on this board with you.

I cannot add anything to what Goodsteel has said except to say you are in our prayers. Rest easy in God's hands.

Felix - I truly do hope that you are there waiting for us as we cross to the other side. I expect you will be - and although many of us have never met face to face - I expect many of us will meet in the Good Lord's world. God Bless you Sir, and I will continue prayers on your behalf.

Felix you will be missed, we will be lesser from your absence. I pray for an easy passing and peace for you and your family. Your name will live on longer than any of us here, your articles and lube recipes will serve as a permanent reminder of your passion and knowledge that you freely and gladly shared. The next generations will still be using Felix Lube and learning from your online articles. That sir, is a tremendous legacy you have left to our hobby and way of life. Thank you. Fair winds and following seas.

Felix....................Your devotion here has been above and beyond. You will be missed.

Felix, thank you for all you've done here. I've been meaning to take up praying the Rosary again after a long hiatus. First one's for you, Buddy.
-
One more rosary tonight.
I always enjoyed reading your post's.
-
Felix, my friend and my brother. I will be sure that your boys will have ways to celebrate your life and the goodness you have instilled in them. They are good men. You will be missed here, but we will all be reunited in a better place. You have been a constant source of encouragement to me in so many ways. Thank you.
-
Felix, I am lost for words. This has to be the hardest thing a person can do. To actually know the end is near. God will be smiling onto you shortly.
-
You'll be missed far more than words than say, I learned so much from you. You confirmed some things I thought I knew and then taught me so much more. If I am lucky enough to join you when my time comes I look forward to again sharing your knowledge and wisdom. We never met in person but I feel the loss of a true friend.
I believe God takes special care of teachers. God bless felix.

Felix, you are the very heart and soul of this board to me. You will be missed.
Ever since I joined this site, on the old board, your wisdom has always stood above the banter, bickering, and pettiness that occurred from time to time.
A true gentleman is never easy to replace.
We are diminished.
