May (Sir ) John Phipps rest in peace. He will always be remembered as a straight , forward thinking progressive black Bermudian .

His legacy was communicating to many young black males about the importance of empowering financial literacy, as a nonsense but very fair Planning Inspector.

Condolences to Mr. Phipps Family.
