Rick was a colleague at DuPont. It was always a pleasure to see and chat with him, as we shared some of the same interests. He will be missed!

My most sincere sympathy to his family and friends. I know it's been a very challenging year, filled both with joy and sadness.

My deepest sympathy to Rick Phillips family. I worked with Rick in Ag Products at the Experiemental Station for years. He was always a pleasant and helpful person to be around. When we both left DuPont,I then ran into him at X-ring while trying to buy my fiance some bullets for his gun. I know nothing about bullets! Rick was super helpful as I had remembered him to be. My prayers go out to all of you. Pat Sanders-Eriksen

Deepest condolences to the family of Richard Phillips.

Rick or back then growing up "Ricky" was one of my best friends from elementary school thru high school. He was even an usher in my wedding. It has been a long time since we have seen each other and a lot has happened, but I have often thought of him. I was shocked to read about his passing. A lot of good memories will always remain. My condolences to the family.

Father, husband,son, brother, pop pop, soldier, friend and proud American, Rick made each of us better people. He will be missed but forever with us in our memories. Hugh T Broomall
