Remembrances

I'll be back in the studio soon, my recent absence has been due

to the loss of my brother.

 Linwood "Rock" Phillips passed away on August 5th.

Today would have been his 59th Birthday.

I can't walk down High Street in Millville without being reminded of Rock.

I want to share with you here the very nice column that appeared in the

Bridgeton Evening News, written by Rock's good friend Bernie Heller.

"Millville lost another legendary former business leader last night, as Rock Phillips passed away at his home in North Carolina.

"Some folks may not recall, but it was Rock who brought the Holly City the original Incredible Bulk" (located at High & Mulberry streets) as well as Rock & Robins (Now N.Y. Style Pizza).
"A serial entrepreneur, upon retiring from his role as a police officer (working with Baltimore's K-9 division and then the Linwood Police Department), Rock was never content to stand still.

"He saw and/or created opportunities where others could/would not and as a result created and developed several successful businesses over the span of 20 years.

"He was actively involved in the then-Millville Business & Professional Association and served for a short time as the Executive Director of the Millville Chamber of Commerce, eventually working to merge the two organizations.

"Upon retiring for a second time from retail, Rock and his family moved to rural North Carolina where once again his entrepreneurial vision would lead him as he converted a former school house into a prosperous self-storage company.

"Unassuming but ever confident, Rock was a friend to many and a mentor to a few ... including, quite thankfully, me.

He was a loving father. husband and friend, but truly excelled in the role of grandfather.

"He was quick to laugh, always willing to assist someone in need, and for those who were lucky enough to have known him will be missed forever.
