Phillip G. Stout of Union Twp. passed away peacefully at 12:10 a.m. Tuesday, July 18, 2017 , in his residence with his wife and family by his side. He was 74.

Mr. Stout was born December 26, 1942, in Uledi, PA, a son of Phillip Stout, Jr. and Ila Friend Stout. He was raised in Uledi and a 1961 graduate of German Township High School, McClellandtown, PA.

His kindness and generosity was well known by all, and he never hesitated when given the opportunity to help someone in need.  Phil will be sadly missed, especially by his grandchildren whom he adored.
