Felix, you brought me a lot of joy and happiness in this life. Thank you for the times we spent together recently, Olga and I will miss you dearly, Felix❤️
Like everyone else, I deeply regret that you left us so soon. I offer my deepest condolences to Stella and Michael🙏

Deeply saddened you’re gone, Felix. Rest in peace.🙏🏻

Felix, my dear friend, we haven’t known each other for a long time. I believe we met back in 2020. Throughout the time I’ve known you, you have been one of the most positive people I’ve ever met. You were always smiling, regardless of what was happening in your life. It’s deeply saddening to realize that you’re no longer with us. It’s hard to put into words the void your absence has left. You had a unique way of lighting up a room and making everyone feel comfortable and valued. Though our time as friends was short, the impact you’ve had on me and others is immeasurable. You will be deeply missed, but your spirit and the joy you brought into our lives will never be forgotten.

I will never have another friend like Felix. He was the most loyal, generous and carrying person that I knew. I will miss him forever.  Deep condolences to the Gelman family.

From last Sukot holiday. 
Was looking forward to a successful year. 
With great hopes. 
חבל לי עליך אחי

Our Dear Cousin Felix:

We cannot digest the sudden terrible news that you are not with us anymore.

You have always been a man with a huge kind heart, generous, an amazing source of warms, happiness and love for your surrounding ones. 
We have grown together in Lebov as an enhanced highly synergistic family (your father and my father have been brothers). You have lived thru volatile times overcoming obstacles and difficulties. 
You have made Aliya to Israel as a young man, and your integration in Israel was not easy. 
At an early age of your younghood , you have lost your dear father Misha. You have taken responsibility on your family and on your loved brother Zinovi. 

Later on  in your life , you have become an integrated inseparable member of our families. Our mother Berta and our father Haim rest in peace, have loved you very much and have treated you as their son. 
You have moved to the USA and our connections have gradually loosened, but you have continued to keep in touch.
Last year you have returned to our lives , and we were happy to meet your charming son Michael. You have escorted our father during his last period of life and as always in each meeting with you,  you have given us happiness and smile.  
You have always appreciated and loved your friends and your family , and you have always been there for whoever needed you. 

We will cherish and hold in our hearts your big smile , the light in your eyes, and the concern and caring you have expressed for everyone.
We are thankful to have met your son Michael.

We , your cousins Ella Stoler and Noa Atlan , love you forever .

I brought Felix home from Moldova. He was a good friend and I will miss him

It’s very hard to accept that such a nice and kind person is not with us anymore. He was one of the best people I’ve ever known. He was great as a father, that was always thinking about his son, his was great as a business partner, that could be able to find a compromise and make everyone happy, he was a great businessman, who was very responsible and smart, he was just a GREAT person, who was always positive, polite and respectful. 
We will never forget him🙏🏼

Rest in Peace, dear Felix🙏🏼
