Felix worked for the Dinorwic Metis, WLON at the Wabigoon Lake Community Store, as WLON Social Administrator and as the WLON Fundraising Bingo Manager. His first love was for his pets. Felix had a loving and faithful relationship with all of his dogs over the years. He enjoyed hockey from the beginning of his youth until his last breath. If it involved hockey, he was on it, from hockey card tournaments, to the ice and lastly the hockey playoffs. He enjoyed golfing with cousins and friends on various courses as well as bowling at Timberlanes with all bowlers. Anything involving sports, including baseball, broomball and biking is what he enjoyed in his free time.
