Phillip F Sheridan

After a short but devastating illness, Phillip F. Sheridan passed away on March 28th, 2020.  He was 78.  A long time resident of Pearl River, Phil is survived by his wife Linda; son Timothy Sheridan of West Milford, NJ; daughter Lisa Sheridan and her husband Felix DeAmesti of Pearl River; and daughter Tracy Sheridan and her husband Steve Dickey of Pearl River; and four grandsons, Mathew Sheridan, Kevin Dickey, Andrew Dickey and Jake Dickey.

Phil was a unique soul, there was nothing too small or to big for him to build, nothing too complicated for him to fix; and he was always ready to lend a hand to anyone who needed it.  He was an active member of the AOH in Pearl River holding the title of Treasurer of the Hibernian House.  He was very proud of his contributions to the community.  He was also a member of the American Legion.  He enjoyed cooking for many outings with friends at his club events, particularly pig roasts.  He was an avid outdoorsman and would spend his time pursuing hunting, fishing or spending time with friends. He had so many good friends who will miss him greatly. 

Born in Nyack NY, Phil graduated from Pearl River High school and then traveled the world with the Merchant Marines.  During this time he was housed on the RV Conrad through Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory which he left to marry his longtime sweetheart Linda and raise a family.  Phil spent the majority of his career as an Operating Engineer; he was also a carpenter and entrepreneur.

The funeral arrangement are private during this time but we will be scheduling a celebration of Phil’s life as soon as we are able to.
