From Ashley Carter

I studied flute with Felix from 1993-1997 while I was an undergraduate at the UW. I learned so much from him during those 4 years. I took away much knowledge and appreciation for different types of music. Felix was such a fair and honest teacher -- he didn't play favorites, didn't gossip, and made sure that all of his students got ample opportunity to play in ensembles and smaller groups. I enjoyed Felix's sense of humor - we found a lot of the same things funny.

One of my fondest memories involves going to his house to watch "Rosemary's Baby" - a really random choice, but very entertaining. I must admit that I felt special sitting in his den watching a movie with him, Megan and her husband.

Felix will be missed by many people -- not only for his flute playing and pedagogical skills, but for his friendship and humanity.
