Felix was a great man and was respected by all who knew him. He contributed so much to our Company, Stewart and Stevenson in traveling worldwide to provide repair service to our customers.

Uncle Felix was a great person! He was a wonderful uncle to Johanna and her brother James! We have good memories of visiting Uncle Felix at Easter time, visits to San Antonio from their family, and lunches in Schulenberg. Johanna was very proud that Uncle Felix served in World War II. She enjoyed "interviewing" him for a speech she gave about Uncle Felix's World War II D-Day experience for a Communications class while Johanna was in college at Texas A&M. Uncle Felix was a calm, caring, kind, Christian person of strength that will be missed very much!

To the entire Ludwig family, my deepest sympathy. Although the years and miles have separated us, I have many fond memories of the entire Ludwig family. May God comfort you all at this time, as only He can. With Love, Barbara McGrew (Bruceton Mills, WV)
