A. Phillip Rubino Feb. 9, 1927 - July 24, 2016 Our father, grandfather, and friend passed on Sunday July 24, 2016 surrounded by his family who admired, respected, and loved him dearly. Phil was born on Feb. 9, 1927 in Boston, Massachusetts. At the age of 17 he joined the US Army. When he was stationed in Austria he met and married the love of his life, Elisabeth Shauer in July of 1947. They traveled through Europe and the US, settling in Utah. Phil and Lisa brought three children into this world: Gloria, Steven, and Marc. After serving 26 years in the military, which included tours of European duty, Korean Conflict, and Vietnam, Phil received the Bronze Star, Army Commendation, and Joint Services Commendation medals, finally retiring as a Sergeant Major in 1971. Being assigned to the Defense Depot in Ogden, he and Lisa decided to remain in Ogden after his military service because they loved the area. Phil was then employed by the IRS and Hill Air Force Base.
