I would like to ask everyone who reads this to keep both him and his family in their thoughts and prayers.

As many of you know, I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting both Felix and Gil at the Meadowlark Comicon, Medford, Oregon in 2019. Both of them are wonderful people.


I was able to have them autograph a model of the HBB TF.

He's at peace now. That's a painful way to go, but he feels that no more.

These are true words. Despite all the sadness that comes with these news Felix continues to live on forever in his iconic roles. He will never be forgotten.

All my sympathy and respect.
