It is with great of sadness and emotion that I learned this morning the death of Felix Molinari. Author
as unobtrusive as prolific, I met him many times over the years at various festivals we were doing. Eurre a weekend to the next and then to St Gaudens in Calais etc.. He toured France at the wheel of his car, often accompanied by his wife Dolly and it was a real pleasure to see them, talk with him and above all, we hear him tell stories about his tasty aeronautics.
For those who knew little or nothing, Felix, was born in 1930 and designed for over 62 years. He became known in particular by creating the character of Garry published 1948:
BdZoom just devote an entire article, which reflects its bibliography.
The image I have of him, I had to keep that would be the extreme kindness and good humor constant vis a vis the public. He gave without counting against the weight of years to the delight of its readers. As more and more authors are reluctant to dedicate for Felix was his essence.
The best time I could spend with him? A meal at his side, facing us with the huge Albert Weinberg, big in talent, that is. A magic moment with two colorful. Two types of humor, two aviation enthusiasts of anecdote ... a meal of crispy anthology. This is also what kind of meetings that motivate me to go far from home me at weekends.
A great idea in the first place to his companion Dolly and her family. Also his other family, his cronies and forcing Lyon Jean-Yves Mitton.
will miss you, Felix ... I'll miss you.
