Bennie Philippsen Obituary

I will always remember watching football game with Uncle Punk and him cursing the Bears and, of course, him giving me so much crap about the Cowboys every Thanskgiving. I pray God blesses the entire Philippsen family. I love you all.

I always remember Uncle Punk hitting Grandma with a flyswatter when she tried to sit in his chair once. I have many memories of Uncle Punk, he will not soon be forgotten.

Linda-I'm sure Heaven is having a great big belly laugh cause your Dad was great at making everyone around him laugh. My-our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Carrie Dave & Brittany

I wanted in some way to thank my grandpa for giving me the opportunity to say goodbye. He willed be missed but I will have tons of stories for his great-grandson. (Grandma, thank you for taking such good care of my grandfather. I can only wish to be as strong as you someday.)

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

It was such a pleasure and insight the first time I met Bennie. My good friend Patti is his spitting image as far as his personality and strength. My condolences and prayers are with the family. We will miss him.

My Dad touched so many people. It's a true loss to not have him around...

I was very sorry to hear of your loss. Patti and your family have been in my thoughts. I'm a friend and coworker from United. I hope your family is healing and will soon be remembering good times.

Hello... I'm Cherry, an exchange student from Thailand. I have a chance to met grandpa once, he is very nice. I'm very very sorry to the bad news, i think noone would want this sad moment to happen. He's now in peace and i'm sure God will taking care of him well. Actually i'm not good at writting this kind of stuff but i really feeling sad for the new. I know it's hard to admit of losing someone but time will cure everything, god bless...

Uncle Punk will always be missed and never be forgotten. Of course he wasnt my Uncle Punk he was my mothers but I didnt know his name wasnt Punk until recently. I didnt get to spend alot of time with him but when we did it was always the Comedy Club is open. That is how our family works. I know that he is making everyone laugh up in the sky.

Sorry to hear about Mr. Phillipsen.
I never did call him Ben. So many of the best mamories were from Lorel Ave. Mr. Buck(Ben)Owens and his guitar. The smell of his cigars. The many parties that we had in our basements. These will always live on. I remember building tents in the back yard with blankets and snoopy dog. TAKE CARE.
