Harrell Ray ‘Hal’ Phillips
Milton-Freewater
June 30, 1947 — March 16, 2020
In loving memory.
Harrell Ray “Hal” Phil-
lips, 72, passed on March
16, 2020. He died peacefully
with friends and family sur-
rounding him.
Hal was born on June 30,
1947, to Melvin A. and Geral-
dine Phillips at St. Mary Hos-
pital, Walla Walla. He grew
up in Milton-Freewater and
graduated from McLoughlin
Union High School in 1965.
Shortly after high school,
Hal worked for Busch Ready-
mix Sand and Gravel, where
he ascended to vice president.
After 20 years Hal moved
careers and served as super-
intendent of the Umatilla
County Road Department,
where he retired at 63.
As a community leader
Hal was elected to the
McLaughlin Unified School
District Board of Directors
and was an active BPOE Elks
Lodge member. As an avid
golfer he was a contributing
member of both the M-F Golf
Course and Men’s League.
Hal is survived by his chil-
dren Shane Phillips, Spokane,
Michael Phillips, Alaska, and
Rachelle Phillips Harding,
San Diego, and his brothers
Arlin Phillips and Clint Phil-
lips, both of Hermiston. He
was a loving and devoted
father and grandfather. Hal
was preceded in death by his
parents, Melvin A. and Geral-
dine, and his brother Glen.
Hal represented honor,
integrity, and character. He
was honest and always stood
for what was right. Hal Ray
was the real deal! Frank Mil-
lar and Carolyn Guglielmelli
selflessly quarterbacked Hal’s
care and relentlessly attended
to his needs. As one of Hal’s
lifelong friends, Frank took
his care seriously and was
there until the end.
His brother Arlin was his
best friend and confidant. For
over 70 years they were by
each other’s side. From camp-
ing, fishing, traveling, and
discussing politics Arlin and
Hal were inseparable. Their
stories of growing up could
be made into a movie and the
love and respect they had for
each other was unbreakable.
Hal’s greatest pride was his
children and he lived to be an
example for them every day,
including his faith in God. To
his children he was a coach,
a friend, a protector, and their
Rock. He cherished being a
grandfather, “Papa Hal,” and
traveled to San Diego often to
be with his granddaughters.
Hal’s other love was
the great outdoors. He was
a devoted fisherman and
enjoyed golfing and hunt-
ing. Hal, Arlin and close
friend Jon Weber spent over
20 years fishing for steelhead
and salmon in Washington,
Oregon and Alaska. Some
of Hal’s ashes were spread
over his favorite fishing spots
in the Columbia and Imnaha
rivers.
A celebration of life will
be held on Friday, July 16,
at the Milton-Freewater Elks
Lodge B.P.O.E. 2146. The
service will begin at 11 a.m.
There will be a luncheon
and reception following the
service.
