To the Riggio and Finnan families,
Uncle Felix was not my uncle by blood, but he was my uncle in heart. He always treated me and my family with the utmost love and respect. You could not have know a more caring and compassionate man, father, husband and uncle. He will be missed. My deepest sympathy to both families. Love Patty and Sean Mullen
