Phillip Torres

On the morning of October 10, 2023, Phillip Torres, a lifelong resident of Elizabeth, N.J. passed away peacefully with family at his side. “Phil” went to be with the Lord at the age of 62. He was born on January 21, 1961.

He is predeceased by his mother, Berta Torres, his sisters, Bibiana Torres and Margaret Torres-Haines. He is survived by his father, Felipe Torres, his sisters, Evelina Torres, Lourdes Torres-Fuster and Shirley Torres-Rodriguez.

He is lovingly remembered by his nephews, nieces, grand-nephews, grand-nieces and cousins.

After graduating, Phil began working several years at Fuch’s Machine Shop as a machinist and later for Pamarco until he became ill.

Phil was an avid guitarist who loved playing the guitar since he was little. He continued to play well into his adult life and was the lead guitarist in several bands, such as Virgo, Grupo Extreme and Grupo Warachando. His passion for music has brought such joy to everyone around him. Phil and the sound of him playing the guitar will be terribly missed.
