John J. Phillips (1953 - 2010)

 
John J. Phillips, a 21 year resident of Woodbridge, CA, passed away on October 11, 2010 at the age of 57. He was born in Chicago, IL on May 19, 1953, the oldest of 4 children. At the age of 22, John moved to California, so happy to be leaving his snow shovel behind. Several years later, he met and fell instantly in love with his wife, Leslie. They were married in 1978 and blessed with 2 wonderful children, Rebecca in 1981 and Trevor in 1983.
John became a CPA in 1979 and earned a Masters in Tax in 1981. He worked in private practice as a CPA for 10 years, then used his expertise with Dutra Construction for 7. Ultimately his ambitions led him to start a successful consulting firm.
John had a keen mind, with a love for challenges, knowledge, and trivia. He had a compassionate and giving heart and volunteered his services to anyone with a need. His playful spirit brought joy to everyone who knew him.
John is survived by his wife, Leslie; his children, Rebecca and Trevor; his brother, 2 sisters, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Memorials can be made to St. Paul Lutheran Church Children's Ministries.
