Felicito Arcilla

Felicito Arcilla, age 87, of Jersey City, NJ passed away peacefully Friday, July 12, 2024, with the comfort of family and God. Felicito was born in the Philippines and was the youngest of his siblings. He spent his early years studying diligently and helping to tend the family farm.

In the mid-1970s, Felicito and 2-year-old son Adrian, migrated to the United States joining his wife, Remedios Arcilla. Soon thereafter, the Arcilla family moved to Jersey City, NJ where Felicito worked for over 20+ years as a mechanical operator for Apollo Plastics. Felicito retired in the mid-1990s and became a lifelong partner and husband for his wife Remy.

Felicito was a kind, gentle, generous, patient and loving person. He loved to embark on cruises, go to Atlantic City and above all was an avid WWF/WWE wrestling fan. He had a unique sense of humor and did his best to make everyone feel comfortable and welcomed in his home. His proudest life moments were the birth of his grandchildren Braylon and Sophia Arcilla who he loved beyond measure.

Felicito is preceded in death by his wife, Remedios and is survived by his son Adrian Arcilla, his daughter in law Yvonne Arcilla and his two grandchildren Braylon and Sophia Arcilla.
