Winthrop- Mr. Wayne G. Felix, 68, passed away unexpectedly Friday March 27, 2015 at his home. Arrangements are entrusted to Hammill Funeral Home in Winthrop.
Wayne was born in Raymondville on October 19, 1946 to Reginald W. Felix and Pearl G. (Mossow) Felix. He was raised and educated locally, graduating from St. Lawrence Central in 1966. After graduation Wayne served his country in the US ARMY, earning an honorable discharge in October of 1968.
Wayne married his 'school sweet-heart', Roseanna Best on December 14, 1968 at St. Patrick Church in Brasher Falls. Married for 46 years, they shared an irreplaceable relationship together for 52 years, built upon, dedication, love, laughter, faith, and most of all, family.
For 36 years Wayne worked at ALCOA, retiring in 2009. He also worked for the Nekoosa Edwards Paper Mill, Simplicity Patterns, and Danko Construction. After retirement he worked for the Town of Stockholm and was the Maintenance Supervisor for the BHLS Health Center in Winthrop. However, Wayne's genuine spirit and love for helping others was seen throughout our entire community.
Wayne's true pride and joy was his family; children and grandchildren alike. He was always present to them and for them. Watching them play their sports, playing with them outdoors, instilling life lessons and helping to mold their character. He truly was the patriarch of his family and will be forever missed.
Wayne loved the outdoors, especially hunting, puttering in the barn, taking care of his lawn, and playing with his grandchildren. For 8 years he coached little league. He enjoyed country music, especially George Jones, dancing, and word puzzles. Spending time with family was his greatest pleasure.
He is survived by his wife, Roseanna and his mother Pearl Felix of Winthrop, his children: Christopher and Heather Felix of Massena, Jason and Kimberly Felix of Colton, Wade and Alice Felix of North Lawrence, and Shaun and Sharon Felix of Greensboro, NC., 8 grandchildren who he cherished: Ciera, Shyane, Keith, Payton, Hunter, Noah, Grace, and Zander, his siblings: Ferne and Thomas Lord of Winthrop, Gale "Bud" Felix of Norfolk, Richard and Wilma Felix of Syracuse, Karen and Wayne Jock of Brasher Falls, and Keith and Jody Felix of Potsdam. He is also survived by his mother-in-law, Grace Best, and sister-in-law Julia Best of Winthrop, and many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, and cousins.
He was predeceased by his father, Reginald W. Felix.
Following Wayne's wishes, services will be held privately at the convenience of his family. Please consider memorial contributions in his honor to: Tri-Town Minor Hockey, Tri-Town Rescue Squad, St. Lawrence Central Athletic Department, or a charity of your choice.

Pop, it's so hard to believe that tomorrow will be father's day and you aren't here. This is so unbelievably tough for everyone but I know how proud you must be of "your boys" for being the kind of father's they are...they are just like you. We miss you so much, Sunday will be hard celebrating father's day without you being there. Happy Father's Day Pop and Happy Father's Day to the #1 Papa. We love you! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Know we grieve with each of you. Wayne and I always had a smart remark to share of each other. It was only 2 weeks ago that I stopped at his house while he was shoveling the driveway, after we threw smarta** comments, we went on to talk about our families. Missing him will not be easy but will always remember that infectious smile of his!!

My condolences to all the family of Wayne Felix. I worked with and around Wayne for 35 years.I had great respect and admiration for Wayne. Respect for his knowledge of our job and his willingness to jump in no matter how dirty or undesirable it was. Admiration for his desire to help his fellow "Mens'es" as he would say, but also his love for his family.Usually, monday mornings he would be planning the meal for the next weekly Sunday family gathering. I always thought he was so lucky. I'll miss him. Sincerely , Kevin Strzalka

I miss you Papa.. You left me and our family too early. I don't know what to say or do without you. I feel so lost. I'll never forget you and all the memories you left me. I was sitting in your room tonight and can still see you sitting in your chair with your glasses on reading the free-trader. You treated us all so well and we never could thank you enough. I didn't think that when I hugged you goodbye Saturday that that would be our last hug Papa. I know you're looking down at us and I know you wouldn't want me or anyone else to be upset, but I miss you so much, we all do. I love you and I miss you so much Papa.

Wayne was my uncle, my Little League coach, my friend and a true father figure in my life. Wayne helped me lay my father and grandfather to rest and, although he left us too soon, Wayne's dedication and support to his family more than earned him eternal peace. I can only hope my cousins and Aunt can find solace in his loving memory.

Pop, you left us without any warning taking a piece of all of our hearts with you. The sunday dinners, your constant presence on the hill at football games, in "your corner" at the hockey games (Keith and Payton always looked for you during warmups), holidays (wrapping paper fights), "old family stories" that we all loved, especially your grandchildren...they could listen to all those stories repeatedly, barn time with your sons, barn time with your grandkids...you would always do whatever sport they wanted NO MATTER WHAT CONDITION YOU WERE IN...duct tape fixed everything right papa :) You would stand in the rain with Payton playing hockey, the Stewart's runs from the time the kids were little, the clubhouse you built, every picture ever given of your grandchildren attached to your barn walls, I could go on for days everything you have ever done for this family of yours. Thank you for being you...an unbelievable father, papa and friend. We love you so much and cannot say goodbye so we will say....until we are together again Pop. ((((HUGS FOREVER))))
