Theodore Phillips, 78, of Saugerties New York passed away on Wednesday August 13, 2025. Born August 19, 1946, he was the son of the late Charles and Lillian Phillips.

Theodore served his country in the United States Marine Corps and he served his community. Whenever he saw someone stranded or having car troubles he was quick to help. He also enjoyed gardening, fishing, and family. Being outdoors was always preferred due to his great respect for nature.
