Philip S. Jordan, 88, passed away under the hospice care of Marlene Walker at Total Care Solutions in Holden on April 6, 2022. He was born in Waltham, Sept. 22, 1933, the sixth child of Waltham Elliott and Marguerite (Bunker) Jordan.
Philip served his country in the Army from March 1953-February 1955 as a private first class. On Sept. 8, 1956, Philip married Joan Annette Jordan. With his wife, Joan, they began their family woods business, Philip S. Jordan and Sons. At the time, Philip moved his wood business forward by being the first to add a skidder, loader and tractor-trailer to increase his company’s productivity. In later years Philip and Joan moved to Frankfort, where they tended blueberry fields, grew large vegetable gardens and watched their children raise loving grandchildren. Philip will be missed greatly by his family and all those whose life he has touched.
