William Phillipps Obituary

I still miss Bill. I need dental work but I know I won´t find another one anywhere to replace Bill Phillipps.
He was a SPECIAL person to ALL that knew him.
WE MISS YOU DR PHILLIPPS.

Bill was my Classmate at The Citadel and a great friend. I will never forget when he came home with me to McLean, Virginia over Winter Break. Bill had never seen snow before and was amazed by the 4 ft. high snow drifts during the Blizzard of 1966. He was a great guy and fine fellow. I was sad to learn of his passing. My condolences to his Family. Rest in Peace, Bill.

I miss Bill so much. He was more than my dentist.
He changed the way I felt about a dentist.
He is truly missed.
I knew his father from meeting him at the plantation with Poppa Huff.

I sure miss talking to Bill and hearing his stories. He was the best dentist EVER, friend and just a wonderful person. I knew his father and they both were special people to me.
Sure miss my friends.

Claudia and Family,
My deepest condolences to you and your family with Bill's passing. Bill and I were school classmates since the 4th grade. He always brought joy and laughter when we gathered for our WHS High School Reunions. He will be missed by all who knew him. May you find peace, comfort, and love as you walk through this journey of his transition to his heavenly home. And may his memories bring smiles.

So many memories, laughter, crazy times like the Christmas lunch at Yeamans. 30 years hold a lot of watching a good man and dentist make a difference in people's lives. Working with the Boss was the best time I can remember. Bill Phillipps was a man bigger than life. He will be missed by everyone who knew him. Our prayers are with the entire family. God bless.

One of the first people I met when I moved from NC to the Lowcountry. How refreshing to be welcomed by such a wonderful person. I saw him both professionally, and being my son's neighbor, had occasion to see him many times. My sincere condolences to his family. I am so sorry for your loss.

My deepest condolence to Katharine and all family members!
Dr. Phillipps was the first dentist that I saw when we moved to Charleston in 1997, and he had been the dentist of our family ever since, for over 20 years. His profound wisdom, endless stories and deep love for life will be missed by all of us! So long - Dear Dr. Phillipps!

Susan, so sorry to
read of Bill's death! Remember those days at ole WHS.

Dear Claudia, Kak, Morgan & Laura, this one really, really stings. When I think of Bill, I start chuckling, think of his craft beer, the cutting board he patiently made and gifted to me for my wedding, Linville, my dad sharing the War Story he told at Linville one year, his devotion to his family, his dental practice, his friends, his church. I remember how much fun I had when he took me and Morgan shrimping from the CYC. With a twinkle in his eye, he said, "Sometimes, you drop the bait balls where you shouldn´t." That was Bill- so jovial, so kind, so wise.
I am sorry to miss the celebration of Bill´s life. I´m lifting all of you up in prayer.
Love & condolences,
Helen Barkley Ravenel

Dr. Phillipps was my dentist for @ 30 years. He always had the funniest sense of humor and was a down to earth man! I am so sorry for your loss and I hope you know that he will always be looking down from above to make sure ya'll are ok. My heart is really sad and I send my sincerest condolences to his wife and children and grandchildren.

I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. His family is in our thoughts and prayers. Dr. Phillipps was so kind and funny.

Doctor Bill was a great guy!
Easy going, personable, and always had a warming smile

Bill was a wonderful gentlemen and the '69 Citadel Golf Dawgs were blessed to have him among our ranks at so many fun golf reunions! His humor and sneaky good golf game will be sorely missed. God rest his soul and prayers for his family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

To Claudia and the family-
I spent many an Army Reserve weekend with Bill in the 350th Dental Detachment, as a fellow Dentist and Soldier over a number of years. Bill kept us all entertained, and I had tremendous respect for his service in Vietnam. As the years went by, I would run into Bill at Dental meetings, weddings and sporting events, and it was if we had never missed a beat from our Reserve days. They don´t come any better than Bill Phillipps! My condolences and prayers that God may comfort your family with all the special memories you share.

Most sincerely,
John P. Howard DMD

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Prayers for the family. I went to Dr Bill for years at
his practice and enjoyed seeing his craftsmanship hobby in the office. He was a wonderful dentist, craftsman and all that met him loved him, even in the dentist chair. God Bless

Dear Claudia and family,
Stan and I want to extend to you our deepest sympathy over Bill's death. He was one of the nicest men I have known and long time ago Stan enjoyed sharing Vietnam stories with him. He will be missed.
