WARWICK, Philip Leslie (Phil)

The Payson Roundup, Payson, Arizona, Tuesday, October 14, 2014 Philip Leslie Warwick U.S. Veteran January 23, 1930 - September 25, 2014 Philip Leslie Warwick was born Jan. 23, 1930 in Whittier, Calif. and passed away on Sept. 25, 2014 in Payson, Ariz. He was preceded in death by his wife of 40 years, Barbara. Philip was a wonderful husband, son, brother, stepfather, grandfather and friend. He is survived by his siblings, Sharon Wolffe, Donald Warwick and Michael Warwick; his step-children, Greg Weirich, Christine Weirich, Patti Schienle, Richard Weirich and Laura Boggio. Phil has 14 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Phil was a veteran — he served in the Philippines and retired from McClellan Air Force base in Sacramento, Calif. where he was an airplane mechanic. For several years he was involved with the Kit Carson Mountain Men. In his picture you see his outfit, which he made himself and wore in those events. Phil was an avid reader and lover of history, especially the old west. He and Barbara were very involved in the Will James Society for many years. He truly enjoyed the years they lived in Payson where he met wonderful friends and neighbors. Phil and Barbara always talked about their neighbors with great love and appreciation for their friendship. Phil also enjoyed every chance to go to the shooting range on Tuesdays with his pals, after meeting for a good breakfast! Our sincere thanks to Kari Waters and Bill for their help and friendship in his last days and to the Hospice Compassus of Payson. Also, the great neighbors for all of their support and love they showed to Phil; it meant so much to him. Phil’s cremains will be joined with Barbara at 10 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 18. All are invited to Mountain Meadows Cemetery to the graveside. We welcome anyone to share thoughts or memories of Phil, at that time. Please contact Messinger Mortuary for directions to cemetery.
