Felix H. Tan, 84, went to be with the Lord on November 22, 2020. His final days were spent surrounded by his family that Felix profoundly influenced in many ways throughout his life.
Felix was born May 18th, 1936 in Jolo, Philippines to Henry Tan and Guan Ho.
He graduated from Centro Escolar University and earned a degree in Optometry. He worked for 30 years in Chinatown, NY as an optician.
He lived a humble life yet was incredibly generous with his time and money. Whatever possessions Felix had he gave away to others. He enjoyed watching action movies and loved to spend time with his family, relatives, and friends. He also liked going to the casino where he played bingo with his "barkada" (which means close group of friends in the Filipino language).
He is survived by his wife Teresita "Tita" Tan and his two (2) sons Michael and Brian and by his eight (8) grandkids Emily, Ava, Sara, Katherine, Noah, Abigail, Eve, and Elijah.
Felix Tan was one of a kind and was loved by many and will be terribly missed.
A funeral mass will be held at 10:15 AM, Tuesday, December 1st at Holy Family Church in Nutley, NJ.
Contributions in memory of Felix may be made to the American Heart Association.
