James G. Felos died in a heart-wrenching way: as the result of an accident in his own driveway, under the wheels of his wife's car.
But his family and friends Monday spoke not of the accident but of a loving, generous man who gave much to his community.
"We're coping because we're following the advice he gave us: Celebrate and go on," said Marilyn Felos-Shankman, one of two daughters.
Mr. Felos died Sunday afternoon of injuries he received when his wife accidentally hit him with her car, pushed him into the street, then backed over him, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. No charges were filed in the accident, which occurred at their home on Darston Street in Ridgemoor.
Mr. Felos and his wife, Jean, had moved to Florida in 1974 for "family and sunshine," Felos-Shankman said. Her parents, who met when they were growing up in Bennington, Vt., were married for 46 years.
"It's hard for her," Felos-Shankman said of her mother, "because it was an accident."
Her father, who was 73, was a first-generation American whose parents immigrated from Greece. Mr. Felos held fast to his roots, supporting the Greek-American organization Order of American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association and playing an active role at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Clearwater.
Mr. Felos was a lawyer for more than 40 years and practiced with his son, George, at their firm, Felos & Felos of Dunedin. George Felos, 43, gained prominence several years ago when he contributed to a landmark Florida Supreme Court decision that gave senior citizens "the right to die."
The father and son handled all sorts of cases, said Cindy Gay, their secretary for 12 years, who warmly recalled the senior Felos. "He was almost like a father to me," Gay said. "I could sit and talk to him about anything."
Besides at home, Mr. Felos' presence may be missed most, however, at Holy Trinity, where he and his wife were longtime members. Mr. Felos served on the parish council, and he was the church's attorney and financial adviser. Mrs. Felos, 64, is president of the choir.
"They participated in most all of the events in the life of this parish," said the Rev. James Rousakis, the church's senior priest.
While Mr. Felos may have appeared serious on the outside, "inside was a very compassionate and soft person," Rousakis said.
Jean Ginsburg and her husband, Stan, have played cards with the Feloses for years. "I found him a very gentle person," she said. "He was fun."
"He devoted his life to his work and family," said Felos-Shankman, 37, who is an accountant in Fort Lauderdale. "He's not the type to have a billion hobbies."
But Mr. Felos liked to travel and read, especially spy novels, which may explain why he and his wife visited Russia so many times, Felos-Shankman said.
The manner of his death shocked his family. Felos-Shankman said her father had fought colon and rectal cancer and was experiencing a reoccurrence. "I was expecting a phone call sometime in the future that he was dying of cancer," she said. But "he looked great. He felt great. . . . Then this."
But Mr. Felos lived a full life, his daughter said: "My mother just asked him the other day: `Is there anything you want to do? Any place you want to go?' He said: `Not a thing. I'm very happy.' "
In addition to his wife and his children, Marilyn and George, Mr. Felos is survived by a second daughter, Evelyn Athas, who is 44 and a registered nurse in Long Island, N.Y.; his sisters, Helen Kiamos of Holiday and Joanna Mouroutsos of New Port Richey; and four grandchildren.
Mr. Felos, a graduate of Syracuse University and the University of Miami Law School, was a former district attorney in Queens County, N.Y. He campaigned unsuccessfully to be a Pinellas County judge in 1976.
He was an Army veteran of World War II, a 32nd-degree Mason and a member of Phi Alpha Delta Law Society.
Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at Curlew Hills Funeral Home at 1717 Curlew Road in Palm Harbor. The funeral service will be at 11 a.m. Thursday at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, 409 Old Coachman Road in Clearwater. The Rev. Rousakis will officiate.
The family asks that donations be made to the church or to AHEPA.

Correction:And is it really true about Felos's mother backing over his father?
I've seen interviews with him and have wondered if there is any human left in there.
stylin-geek was right...
It almost sounds far fetched to say One Step Removed from the phsycological profile of a Serial Killer
Felos--the Serial Feeding Tube Remover, ie euthanasia by omission murder advocate!!
Does anyone have any information on what Felos' peers in the law industry think of him and his hokey book?
Birds of a feather flocks together...
Felos and the rest of his buzzards hovering... waitin' for Terri to be dead.
I am still praying for divine intervention.
Schaivo doesn't want her to talk. Felos is helping Schiavo.
He is evil, and everyone who is putting this woman to death is evil.
No other word for it.
With this situation and things it, muslims, etc. we are in the midst of a true holy war, good against evil.
If I see a person holding a sign that says "the end is near", I am going to tell them they are most likely right!
Bingo!
Michael's fiancee's mom who guarded Terri while she was being starved died towards the end of summer IN MICHAEL'S HOUSE of cancer. It's not good for people to be on the husband's side. Terri's outlived a few people who were on the husband's side.
You mean Jodi's (tramp) mom died in that house????
Why? Because by living in open adultery, MICHAEL AND JODI are denying two little b'strds a last name because their parents have no marriage license. DIVORCE FOR THE CHILDREN's sake.
Thanks for the ping. This explains it all. Got sick reading it though.
Felos has a way of doing that to people.
What a total whacko! It sounds like he's just shy of a becoming serial murderer... oh wait...
Yes, Felos and his cotiere all donated to Greer's campaign and others. It was within the legal limits individually, but collectively it was not. Between Felos and Greer the reputation of the Florida Judiciary, lawyers and judges, has been terminally impugned. They have both lost all of their credibility, dignity, and honor. It really was sort of a challenge to the rest of the judges, I'm surprised that they have accepted their loss so readily. I certainly wouldn't trust any one of them to write a check for me to sign. There is no longer any validity to their judgments in my humble opinion. It is a real shame, because most of them are probably honorable.
Check the court documents! Might find it in Greer's files or in something pertaining to Schiavo's accounting to the (hee, hee,)court. Felos donated (bribed) Greer with $500 and the rest of his coterie put up $250 each. Individually it is legal, as a firm it is illegal. But the cost in integrity, which certainly wouldn't affect him, is vast. Between the two of them, you now know you cannot trust a judge anywhere in the State of Florida!!!!

True, but, FL voters (like those in other states too) will NOT take the time to study the credentials of judicial candidates. Therefore, they just rubberstamp "familiar names" on the ballots. George W. Greer has been on Pinellas or Pasco ballots for some 25 years. So voters just rubberstamp that old reprobate every time he comes up to bat. Sadly, some may actually "believe" in George W. Greer.
