Obituary

James H. (Jim) Phillips, Sr. It's with great sadness that the family of James H. Phillips, Sr. of Warminster, PA announce his death at the age of 92. He passed away at home surrounded by loved ones. Jim is proceeded in death by his parents, David and Florence, and his brothers David and William. He is survived by his beloved wife of 70 years, Patricia, his three children Jimmy Phillips, Jr., Betty (Peter) Kline, and Patty (John) DiMaria, is "Poppop" to his granddaughters Brittany (Nick), Karly (Rich), Tricia (John), and Katie, great-grandchildren Jace, Jax, and Jalen, as well as many nieces, nephews, and dear friends.

Jim graduated from Frankford High School, was a decades-long member of the Masons, and a veteran of the U.S. Navy assigned to the USS Bennington during the Korean War. After his military service, he taught at Shallcross Reform School in Philadelphia and later dove into antique dealing with his wife along the East Coast. Every summer he looked forward to taking the whole family with him to the beach and every winter he loved dressing up to play a pretty convincing Santa. You could hear him whistle for you from blocks away and make you laugh with his Donald Duck impression. Every year he couldn't wait to organize the Frankford High Christmas party and would often go to lunch on Tuesdays with a handful of his classmates aptly named the "lunch bunch". Jim loved sharing stories with friends over a good strong Manhattan, but what he loved the most was his time spent with family.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that you make donations to his favorite charities – the Wounded Warrior Project, the American Red Cross, and the American Cancer Society.
