Born in Tolosa, Leyte (Philippines) to the late Ciriaco Vivero Oronos and Maria Carmen Nonay Ocaña, Fel was granted his angel wings on August 19, 2020, in Alameda at the age of 98. His final days were spent surrounded by family at home.

Fel served 20 years in the United States Navy from 1945 to 1965. He was on several U.S.S. ships for minesweeping.
Fel was a resident of Alameda for 62 years. His favorite pastimes were spent with friends, hosting parties, cooking, bingo, Mahjong, gardening, puzzles and dancing. You’d always find him dancing with ‘Mami’ at street fairs and local concerts–anywhere there was music! Both of them together brought smiles to everyone’s faces and lifted everyone’s spirits. He really enjoyed spending time with family, especially watching his grandchildren play.
