My sympathies go out to the entire Phillips family. Bill and Marie were not only my neighbors but like my grandparents when I lived on Main Street. I still have many great memories of both of them, and Derrick and Nick, and it saddens me to hear of your loss. I learned of the funeral in today’s paper or else I’d have attended. May the entire family find peace. With sympathy, Jamie Cail Hubert ( daughter of Tim and Sandy Cail)

Please accepy my sincere symphty. Bill was well respected in the boilermaker craft. He taught me how to weld “overhead” when we were building the merom power plant. He will always be remembered as a good friend and mentor. I’ll miss him.
Steve, Marcie, and Tammy,
Ronda and I are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Marcie,
For some reason I read this obituary and found that it was your father. I am sorry for your loss. I went through this terrible disease with my father and know what it is like. Please accept my condolences, and pass them along to the rest of your family.
