Phillip Y Eng, age 84, died of pulmonary fibrosis on October 9, 2025. Beloved husband of Alice for 59 wonderful years. Loving and dedicated father of Jonathan (Julia) and Kevin (Kaoru). Treasured grandfather of Samantha, Brady, Yuna and Kei.

Phillip Eng was born in Rockville Centre on July 15, 1941.

Phillip served as a teacher, assistant principal and principal in the New York City public school system for 31 years.

Phillip loved to play golf and was an avid stock market investor. But his true passion was his family.
