Obituary: Gathering to honor Joe Phillips on Saturday at Richmond Beach Library

The Shoreline community will miss long-time community member J. Joe Phillips, who passed away on June 5, 2013. 

He and his wife of 55 years, Eve, hosted the Talk Time programs for non-native English speakers at the Richmond Beach and Shoreline public libraries, and Joe has served on the boards of the libraries, the Richmond Beach Community Council, helped with the RB Library art show each spring, and was  the founder of the Syre Elementary Boy Scout and Cub Scout troop in Richmond Beach.

In lieu of flowers his family kindly asks that friends of Joe honor him with a used book donation or contribution to the Richmond Beach Library. An open house/gathering will be held at the Richmond Beach Library to honor this fine man on Saturday, June 29, 2013 between 10:30am and 2:00pm at 19601 21st ave NW, Shoreline.
