My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Felix. An inspirational teacher and so very much more. I’m gratified to have had the opportunity in adulthood to express to Felix my appreciation for that and for the person he was. He will remain in the hearts and minds of his students. Rest in peace dear Felix. Michael McDonnell Belfast

May I also extend my deepest sympathy to Felix's wife Imelda and all the Cavanagh and Brady families and friends. I met Felix on our first day at St Mary's and he remained a valued and supportive friend throughout the ups and downs of the next few years. We both enjoyed hockey and played twice a week for one of the three teams that Simms ran then. It was clear that Felix would prove to be an inspirational teacher with his love for literature and his considerate and caring nature. Exceptional. St Ciaran's was indeed fortunate to benefit from these talents and he lives on in the memories of so many pupils, family and friends. Thank you Felix. Pete in Guernsey

Mr Kavanagh taught me English in St Ciaran's many moons ago. A quiet, unassuming man with a great way with him. Always loved going to his lessons. Rest in peace. Sincere condolences on your loss Mary Teresa MC Callan
