Philip G Frederick, of Upper Darby, Pa, peacefully passed away on 04 AUG 2025. Loving husband, best friend, and soul mate of Susan Frederick (nee Gustafson). Son of the late Stephen G. and Anna T Frederick.

Phil was a Vietnam veteran, an avid sportsman, and a gun enthusiast. He was a bus driver and mechanic for the School District of Haverford Township for 35+ years. He enjoyed bowling and hanging with his friends. Phil had a fondness for a good cup of coffee and his cats. Phil would never turn down a good back rub, and he was happy to give one in return. He was an excellent mechanic, MacGyver, and gunsmith. Phil was a man of few words. However, if you were invited into his inner circle, you were not only a friend but also a part of his family.

Donations can be given to the National Kidney Foundation or Disabled American Veterans. Per his wishes, ceremony and internment are private.
