For many years, he was a wellknown personality within the club of Quick Amersfoort, being present on its home site seven days a week.
Also outside of his club, Kiringdongo was a well-respected personality.
In an In Memoriam on the club's website, Hans Josemans looked back at Kirindongo's activities.
In 1964, Kirindongo came to Amersfoort with several other Antillians, to work for Bronswerk.
In those years, many of them went on to play baseball for Quick Amersfoort
Kirindongo was not interested in playing, but took upon him another task from the very first moment he joined the club.
He became the groundskeeper and equipment manager of the main baseball-squad of the club.
In later years, Kirindongo was the groundskeeper and equipment manager of the entire club.
The webmaster of Grand Slam * Stats & News offers his condolences to the family of Felix and wishes them a lot of strength with this loss.
