Felix M. Cagliola Sr., age 79, husband of Linda (Cane) Cagliola, of Limerick, Pennsylvania, passed away on Thursday, November 19, 2020 at Pottstown Hospital. Born on December 10, 1940 in Norristown, he was the son of the late Mary (Bono) and Andrew Cagliola.
A graduate of Norristown High School, Class of 1958, Felix was an excellent athlete and was especially known in the old neighborhood for his basketball abilities. He gave 46 years of service to the same company, first employed by Philco, then Ford Electronics and finally as Visteon Electronics, in North Wales, until his retirement.
Felix loved time spent with his family, but most important, he loved spending time with his six grandchildren. He was their number one fan and was always in attendance at their sporting events or activities. He loved to tell you about how one of the kids played in a game, or how they were doing in school and other activities. His grandchildren were at the center of his world but he was also a fixture in the neighborhood as he would often sit on the front porch to watch the children play and to make sure they were safe. He would drive his two granddaughters down to the bus stop and get out of his car to stand in the street as the bus pulled up to make sure traffic would stop and ensure all of the kids got on safely.
Felix had a great love for watching sports. He could often be found settled on his favorite chair and viewing Sports Center or Comcast Sports. If you didn't catch a game, he could always fill you in on the details. He was also an avid golfer and would be out on the course at least three times per week, even most recently. While accomplished on the golf course, he always lamented about not having a hole-in-one but we know they will be plentiful for him now. He would make frequent trips to the local golf shop to trade in and pick up golf clubs in his eternal pursuit of finding the perfect club to improve his game.
Felix had a strong fondness for doughnuts and would regularly find an occasion to stop by Suzi-Jo's. He was happy to make trips to Costco and inevitably would return with an oversized cheesecake or some other jumbo pie. He made it his mission to make sure that there was never a shortage of sweet treats and baked goods in the house.
In addition to his loving wife Linda of 54 years, Felix is survived by his sons: David (Victoria) Cagliola, of Collegeville, Michael (Meghan) Cagliola, of Royersford and Felix (Maria) Cagliola Jr., of Limerick; and grandchildren: Andrew, Nicholas, Joseph, Marissa, Isabella and Guiliana.
Due to current Covid-19 social distancing regulations, services will be held privately at the convenience of the family. Memorial contributions may be made in Felix's name to St. Teresa of Calcutta, Capital Campaign, 256 Swamp Pike, Schwenksville, PA 19473.
