Phillip Flemister, a retired NYCHA superindent, transitioned to eternal rest on April 22, 2021.

He leaves behind his dear wife, Janice, whom he affectionately called Ruthie; his two children Jennifer and Jason; his siblings Lois, Walter, Peter, Edward, their respective spouses and children; his father in law James Punter; his sister and brothers in law Michelle and Michael Punter and Ace Epps. He is predeceased by his parents Robert and Sarah Flemister and his sister in law Linda Epps. He also leaves behind a host of aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. 

Our hearts are heavy with grief but we rejoice in the fact that we know for certain he is at rest in the presence of our Savior. He touched so, so many lives. Please feel free to leave a memory, poem or anything to honor Phil. 

Phillip will be remembered to all as a hard working, animal whisperer, charasmatic, jokester. He had the uncanny ability to fix almost anything. There is so much I can say about all of the wonderful things my dad did and who he was. I will share just a few. He loved vacationing in Pennsylvania with his family, he loved a good buffet and he adored his grand cats Penny and Shiloh. Daddy, we will miss you so much. Jay and I promise to take care of mom. I never imagined I would ever be doing this. We had such grand plans. You will forever be in our hearts. You're an angel now and you have your mansion. Love you always and forever, Janice, Jennifer and Jason. 

Due to the covid 19 pandemic, in lieu of a funeral service we will be holding a memorial service. UPDATE: The memorial service will be held on May 22 at 12pm. The location is 1991 Old Philadelphia Pike Lancaster, PA. Masks and social distancing will be in effect. Please email jthelflemister7@gmail.com, by May 15, 2021, 5 pm EST if you wish to attend so that we can keep a tally of attendees. There will be no food served afterwards, instead the family will be making a donation to a missionary.
