I
received the sad news today that former science teacher Phil Reeves passed
away this morning in Marshfield, Massachusetts. He was 87 years old. He
had been ill for just three weeks and died peacefully. I talked with his
neighbor, Leslie, who has cared for him for the past 20 years. She said
that he was greatly loved by everyone in his church family and they all
knew how much his connection with the ISB alumni family meant to him. When
Phil was in the hospital she wanted everyone to know who this amazing man
was and she told everyone about his history as a science teacher beloved
40 years ago and today. Phil teared up and said, “Yes, my students were
my children.” Leslie also told me how much he loved to dance at church.
I told her we knew all about his dancing prowess as we witnessed it on the
Teen Club dance floor at the reunions. A small funeral service will be
held on Thursday. Phil was very committed to his Christian faith and
wanted any remembrance donations be made to:
