My father inherited from his dad the name Slebodnik. I carried this name for many years till I got to California where many folks began to stumble over it spelling and pronunciation. Since dad always talked about a simpler name, I decided to simplify it and relate it to my work at the same time. Since Grampa Faix liked to fix things, that seemed to be a logical choice. To Make that more appropriate The Faix name is a French name meaning; "to do work"or,"to fix things". Although Grampa was German, The fathers all past on the French name Faix.. My Brothers and my son still proudly carry the name Slebodnik. But all my customers still can easily remember my name after many years as Jim Fix. I don't mind being called by either name since I'm proud of both. (Thanks MOM)! |
