Adolph J. "Ish" Phillips

Mrs. Phillips, Glen and Pat, and all the family, I was so saddened to hear about the loss of Mr. Phillips. I remember my parents getting a babysitter and going to listen to Ish Phillips down at the Watchung View Inn! It was always a special night out for them. I have fond memories of Ish myself at the Robbins Road property. He was always a happy and loving man. I am truly sorry for your loss.

Just wanted the family to know I've dedicated 5 Gideon Bibles in honor of this lovely gentleman. He was one of the few attendees at Pilgrim Covenant who connected with my husband, who always felt like an outsider. The connection was through music and recordings. I will be ever grateful for that "friendship." Hugs and warm wishes to the family

The older folks at Pilgrim Covenant Church in South Plainfield, NJ remember with smiles and much joy the wonderful times we shared with Ish and family. Picnic at the house in Bridgewater, help with musical productions, etc. We still have one of the albums he made and the tape ministry is still ensconced under the stairs. Can never forget the program Ish coordinated for the men when they held a dinner for the ladies of the church. The rendition of "It's not easy being green"... Just...

Aunt Ginny and family, so very sorry for Cousin Ish's passing. Amazing memories of singing with his band. Such a sweet man. Always smiling. He was loved. Praying for peace.

My heartfelt sympathies to aunt Ginny and family. Cousin Ish was a kind and inspirational person. I have fond memories of him. The LORD bless you.

With deepest sympathy at Cousin Ish's passing. So very many wonderful memories are coming, and they all center around his love of music and love of family. Our hearts and sorrow are with you... With much love, Rose Mary and Claire

Aunt Ginny and Family, Our best to you all in this difficult time. Nothing but good memories of Uncle Ish at the picnics and his concerts at Duke Island. He was always first class!

My deepest sympathy for you Aunt Ginny and your family. There are many happy memories in my heart. Love to you all...

Ish's life will leave behind tender memories of our Friendship and Love. We thank the Good Lord for precious time shared together in so many happy ways.
