Utah Phillips memorial at Little League field



Print Comment
A public memorial for Bruce "Utah" Phillips, who died Friday night, will be from 10 a.m. to noon Sunday at the Nevada City Little League field in Pioneer Park.

Phillips was a big baseball fan and regularly attended the Little League games in the park.

“He was a fixture at the games,” said Cindy Maple, executive director of Hospitality House and a friend of Phillips.

The memorial is expected to last two hours. The time was changed later today after the family discovered there was a conflict at the field.

A potluck will follow at Miners Foundry Cultural Center, 325 Spring St., Nevada City — also the memorial venue in case of rain.

In addition, “Trains, Tramps & Traditions,” a celebration of the music of Phillips will be held Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Odd Fellows Hall, 212 Spring St., Nevada City.

A private burial for Phillips will be held Thursday.

Phillips, 73, had been suffering from a chronic heart disease since 2004.

“The house is filled with family and friends, the deep sense of family and community washes over like a varnish forever binding us together,” his son, Duncan Phillips, wrote in a blog on Sunday. “We spent the day telling stories weeping, telling more stories and weeping again.”
