Obituary of Howard Robert Frank Phillips

Peacefully and surrounded by family, on Sunday, December 24th, 2017, in his 75th year, Howard was called home to be with his Lord. Beloved husband of Beverly. Loving father of Karen Ballem (Mark), Allison Duesbury (Stephen), and Susan. Proud grandfather of Eric, Rachel, Jackson, and Danielle. Dear brother of Marilyn Kerr (Ralph), Chester (Kathy) and Richard (Cathy) and brother-in-law Archie Tuck (Helen). Sadly missed by his nieces, nephews, cousins and their families. Predeceased by his parents Howard and ‘Cherrie’ Phillips. Howard taught for the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal from 1965 to 1977 and for the TVDSB, from 1977 to 1997, until his retirement. As he did throughout his life, Howard continued to mentor and coach elementary school sports teams and serve through church music ministry during his retirement. Special thanks to Dr. J. Mangel, the London Regional Cancer Program, and the CCTC Team at Victoria Hospital for their exceptional care. Friends are invited to a memorial service at THE SALVATION ARMY LONDON CITADEL, 555 Springbank Drive, London on Saturday, January 6, 2018 at 11:00 a.m., followed by a reception and time to visit with family. As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations may be made to the London Citadel Corps of The Salvation Army, or to a charity of your choice.
