Col. Phillips was a great man. He was one of my residents that left a strong print on me. He was very caring, loved talking about his family and how proud he was of his sons and grandson. His time flying in the war, his beautiful wife and his siblings. His sense of humor was one of a kind. Prayers to his loved ones.



Carthon was not only my brother he was my hero. We lost our father when I was very young and Carthon took me under his wings not only as a loving brother but also as a father figure. He will always be in my hart and my mind for the rest of my life.



We are so sorry to hear of C.P.'s passing.  He was a true friend to all of the Carr family and we will miss him.  C.P. and Dee were great friends of my parents, Ernestine and Waggoner, and they used to have so much fun together.  C.P. was also one of my friends whom I deeply respected for his sense of humor and his great stories.  Somewhere in our picture files, we have some pictures of C.P. with myself and my dad camping out at the Pecos River Rock Art gathering and I will send them when I can find them.  Our love goes to all of the family and I bet that all of the parents are up in Heaven right now just having a great time getting a chance to see each other again.

David and Diana Carr and all of the Carr family



Phil was one of the first members of the Austin Hangar QB's to really welcome me into the organization in 1993 and I will cherish his friendship into eternity. We shared many stories that only old military pilots would care and appreciate! We miss you Phil as you have gone West, we will join you someday!



Phil was my mentor and true friend. One of the best QB's I have ever met.  He was one of the founders of the Austin QB Hanger.  He encouraged us as young pilot to always strive to be better aviators and be a good fellow.  As you go West Phil we will always remember yor positive attitude in helping all of us.

Phil was my father's (Harold Elder), best friend and buddy. They met at Texas Tech in the 1930's and went on to be have careers in the Air Force. Their's was a wonderful and lifelong friendship of hunting, fishing and just being there for one another, until Harold passed away in 2009. I loved my 'Uncle' Phil. Growing up, our families would visit each other around the US, wherever the Air Force had posted us. I always looked forward to those visits because I thought Phil was great fun and made every gathering seem like a party. He will truly be missed. A passing of another member of the 'Greatest Generation'. God bless the soul of Carthon P. Phillips. A long life, well lived. 
Sending love and prayers to the entire Phillips family,
Roxanne Elder



I was privileged to be able to call Phil my friend.  He was exceptional in so many ways to so many of us, but most of all for the love he had for his family and the love he had for his Country.  May the memories of your loved one give you comfort.



Phil was one of my favorite uncles, and such a kind and funny man.  I will miss him dearly, but I know he is happy in heaven back together with my Aunt Doris, the love of his life!  Sending prayers and comforting thoughts to Trace and Todd and the whole family.



C.P. was one of the original founders of Austin's Quiet Birdmen, and I greatly enjoyed talking with him at the meetings.  He repeatedly recommended that we vary our meeting location but to no avail -- we always met at one place - until now.  I hope you're looking down and smiling, C.P., because we finally took your advice and are meeting at different locations throughout Austin each month to discuss the flying activities of which you were so fond.  Thanks for your friendship and great stories.  Lt Col Gary Nophsker, USAF retired



Thank you Dad for everything you ever did for me.I was fortunate enough to live in many different places growing up because of the Air force career. Thanks for the hunting and deep sea fishing trips especially. When I needed you you were there 100%.I wouldn't be where I am today without you.Thank you again.



Phil and I were classmates at the old CAA Flight Inspection school in 1956 at Will Rogers Field, Oklahoma.  He was then stationed at Hickam Field, Hawaii.  The last time we spent time sharing memories was at Wright Patterson AFB in 2009, at the Flight Checkers Reunion.  We had such a good time.  Lt Col George R. (Dick) Malone  USAF retired...



Phil was a man who traveled the world and did what he set out to do.  He was proud of his accomplishments and loved his family.  May the good memories that he created live long and vigorously as he did.



May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.



I will miss you Phil. Perhaps we can have afternoon cocktails again in the future. At least now, you are back together with Aunt Doris, and you can both be happy again.



Col. Phillip's was one of my most memorable residents. He brightened my day everyday that he lived at Liberty House and when I would visit him at Freedom House. My condolences go out to the family. Thanks for letting us be a part of his life.    Marsha Lloyd
