Benjamin "Ben" Phillips' Obituary
Benjamin W. Phillips, age 78, of East China Twp., died March 28, 2016. He was born January 24, 1938 in St. Clair. He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Barbara, children; Benjamin (Lisa), Robin Hinson, Annie (David) Itrich, David (Laurie) Hoppe and Eddie Hoppe, grandchildren; Benjamin, Rene, Austin, Alisha, Alicia, Luke and Cole and 3 great grandsons. Ben also leaves behind a lonesome cat, Geranimo.
Ben always wanted to be remembered as a farmer. He loved plowing fields, watching the earth turn over and the seagulls and birds search for their next meal in the freshly turned earth. Ben loved bailing hay and enjoying the outdoors. May his soul find rest in the fields of heaven.
A memorial gathering to celebrate Ben’s life will be held Sunday April 10th from 12:00 to 5:00 p.m. at the Algonac VFW Fred Quandt Post #3901.
