Charles R. Phillips ’43

IT WAS ONLY RECENTLY learned that Chuck died Oct. 18, 1989, in Hartford Hospital. Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., he lived most of his youth in Waterbury, Conn., and the bulk of his married life in Marlborough, Conn.

Chuck had two careers. He served for many years in the Air Force. Following his retirement from the military, he became a sale representative of Business Form and Systems, ultimately retiring from that firm.

He was a member of the Disabled American Veterans, the American ExPOWs, and the Retired Officers' Assn.

Chuck suffered for many years, with great fortitude and personal courage, from painful rheumatoid arthritis. The last two years of his life he was completely bedridden.

Besides his widow, the former Doris Palmer, he leaves two sons, Charles R. Phillips Jr. and William F. Phillips; two daughters, Elizabeth Cicero and Kathleen Wood; a sister, Elizabeth Moore; 12 grandchildren; and two greatgrandchildren. A brother, Francis T. Phillips Jr. '44, died in Jan. 1990. To the entire Phillips family, we offer our deepest sympathies.
