Kyle B. Phillips

Kyle B. Phillips, 67, of Alpha NJ, passed away on December 4, 2021 at home, after a courageous battle with cancer, with his wife and children by his side. He grew up in Frenchtown, NJ and graduated from Delaware Valley Regional High School in 1972. He married Arlene Dalrymple in April of 1974 and moved to Alpha in 1979. They raised three wonderful children together and he could not have been prouder of them. Kyle loved getting together with family and friends, but especially adored his grandchildren and spending time with them. They were his strength and motivation especially during his difficult days. Born on February 9, 1954, he was the son of the late Theodore H. and Sylvia B. (Robinson) Phillips. Kyle earned his living as a truck driver and spent 34 years hauling chemicals for Gulbrandsen Co. Inc. where he retired in 2017. Kyle loved and adored his family, but his other love was his 1966 Chevelle Super Sport, which he bought in 1972 and fully restored in later years. He went to his first Super Chevy Show in 1996 and was immediately hooked, continuing to show his car at different shows collecting many prestigious awards and accolades throughout the years. In addition to being a member of many car clubs, he was also a member of the Alpha Presbyterian Church. Kyle is survived by his wife Arlene (Dalrymple), daughter Michelle Gargione (Robert), sons Ted (Iwona) and Kyle Jr. (Aneta), six grandchildren: Joseph, Nicholas, Luke, Alexander, Olivia, and Karina, two sisters: Cindy Kirchner (David), Renee Phillips, sisters-in-law: Patricia Woodward (John), Norma Dalrymple (Richard), Cathryn Wilton, Linda Sherrerd (Robin), Lois Hermann (Craig), brother-in-law: Tom Dalrymple (Krys), and many nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, Kyle was predeceased by his two brothers, Kevin and Kim Phillips, his in-laws Search and Werna (Arnesen) Dalrymple, and brother-in-law Search Dalrymple Jr. Services will be private and held at the family’s request. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts can be made to the United Presbyterian Church, 859 High St., Alpha, NJ 08865.
