NEW LONDON, NH - Philip D. Koerner, age 75, of New London, New Hampshire and Amelia Island, Florida, died suddenly on July 9, 2021.
He is survived by his wife Claudia, his sister Linda Carter (Nelson) of Lee, Massachusetts, his sister-in-law Cynthia Watson of Tipp City, Ohio, four nieces, and several great-nieces and nephews.
He was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut to the late Harry and Mabel {Barnes} Koerner and grew up in Wilmington, Delaware. He graduated from the University of New Hampshire and began his life in the insurance industry at the Aetna Insurance Company in Hartford Connecticut, but the majority of his career was spent at National Grange Mutual Insurance Company/Main Street America Group in Keene, New Hampshire, where he served as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board for over 20 years. Phil's most deeply held conviction was that success can only be achieved by helping others to be successful, and he was guided by this in both his professional and personal lives. He will never be forgotten.
A graveside service will be held on Tuesday, July 20, 2021 at 2:30 PM at Maple Hill Cemetery, 800 S. Hyatt St. Tipp City, OH; Pastor Bonita Ritchie officiating. Arrangements have been entrusted to Frings and Bayliff Funeral Home, 327 W. Main St., Tipp City, OH 45371. Online condolences may be expressed at www.fringsandbayliff.com

A year has passed since Phil´s been gone. He is with me in my dreams now and then. Always good experiences relived, never nightmares. His guidance was greatly appreciated.

Claudia, shocked and sad. He was very important to me in my growth. Both as a friend and mentor.
