Phillip Tod Dry, age 36, of North East, MD passed away suddenly on June 14, 2013. He was born in Havre De Grace, MD on October 4, 1976 to William J. Sr. and Marjorie (Keen) Dry.
Phil worked in the construction field and loved fixing and tinkering with things. He would always say, “If it couldn’t be fixed with duck tape, zip ties or super glue, it’s not worth keeping”. He was also a very devoted father and husband who enjoyed telling jokes and fishing. His motto was “Where there’s a Phil, there’s a way”.
Along with his parents, Phil is survived by his loving wife, Gina of North East, MD; children, Megan Dry, Michael Dry, Joseph Dry, all of New Port Ritchie, FL, Cori McMillan of Rising Sun, MD, William Jarrell, Emily Hudgins, and Hallie Hudgins, all of North East, MD; siblings, William J. Dry Jr. of Aberdeen, MD, Katrina Ann Zeman of Havre De Grace, MD, Matthew C. Dry of Prattville, AL, Pamela Sue Dry of Havre De Grace, MD and Robert L. Zeman of Havre De Grace, MD; as well as many nieces and nephews. He is also survived by special friends, Matthew Kitts, Brandon McClure, Taylor and Lisa Ogdin, Alex Sohl and Scott Pauly.
A service will be held at 12 Noon on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at R.T. Foard Funeral Home P.A., located at 111 S. Queen St. Rising Sun, MD 21911, where friends and family may arrive two hours prior beginning at 10AM. Burial will follow at Brookview Cemetery.

Can someone please email me and tell me what happened to Phillip? I would really appreciate it . Phillip was my best friend, we were so close. I met him in Orlando Florida onhis lunch break at McDonalds. From then on we were inseperable. He is such an awesome person all the way around. He loved his family, he talked about them with such love and admiration. I told him once, " you must have the most wonderful mother, father and family". His response was yes they are, he said, he loved them and wanted more than anything to make them proud of him. I am a better person and blessed to have known Phillip. He is and always be one of a kind and now, an angel in Heaven. I am so sorry to Phillips beautiful family. The loss is great and I know it is hard to lose a loved one, especially Phillip. May God bless you all and watch over you! Much Respect and My Condolences, Lisa R. Lampros LisaLampros@hotmail.com

I send my prayers to his wife, and family. There was no one like Phillip. He was a kind, funny, loving and all around amazing man. His smile would light up a room and his personality would brighten the room even more. He had great Character. I don't think I ever saw him down and would always cheer you up and make you laugh if you were down.He was a great and loyal friend to me when I really needed a friend. He has ddefinitely left a me a better person and proud to call him a friend. He will be deeply missed. I know he is an Angel now. See you in Heaven Phillip.

I just did a search and found Phillips obituary.I had no idea. My daughter and I were close with Phillip when he was in Orlando. He was a sweet and huge hearted person who was always happy and joking. I am so sorry he is gone. He was a wonderful person. I would say: "I was miss Mcgeyver and he would call himself the real Mcgeyver. Can someone tell me what happened?

Sorry we couldnt make it yesterday.Id rather remember phil as he was, and how i remember him.With a never ending smile and.a contagoues laugh.Ive always had a very hard time at funerals. I much rather look at his picture everyday and remember all the good advise and life lessions he taught me.I love him very much and will visit his grave as much as i can. I know hes in a better place with our lord jesus christ. Our love gives and takes away But i do have alot of questions for the lord. Every night i just ask the lord WHY? Why phil? I know the lord knows why, but ill never understand WHY? PHIL was the perfect person. He always helpes out others with a beautiful smile;) He said something so funny to me abour 8 days ago, that i will tell gina, bc i really cant write it on here. ITS only something that his family and friends would laugh about.Im just glad i had him and gina ( and kids) in our lives.I just hope Gina will become closer to us and be closer to us. Trick or treating wont be the same anymore. Alot of things wont be the same anymore with out phil here on earth with us. I hope he looks down on all of us and remains proud of us. We love you phil You will remain in our hearts and thoughts for a life time and a day.we love you!

There aren't enough words to describe how great of a person Phil was. From his neverending sense of humor to his loving heart, he was an unbelievable person. I will always remember him for always having a smile on his face, and having the best jokes. He was definitely Mr. Fix-it, as he fixed my hair brush that the airport broke with super glue. He is and will be missed dearly. My condolences to his family, friends and loved ones. Love you all very much!

Our thoughts go out to Phillips family as the unexplainable and unexpected death of your son. We greatously appreciate the years we spent with Phillip as he was just another addition to our family he was our son. There are lot of laughs and fun times we spent together. As he was our son (Scott's) bestfriend and they were very much unseperable along with the other part of the three musketeers ( David). One of many thoughts come to mind and that is when we took all the kids to Six flags and it down poured with all the kids in the back of the truck so we had to stop and have all the kids strip down so i could dry their clothes and there was nothing ruining that day from being one of the many blessed and memorable days. So with that said we are going to miss that special smile that will not be forgotten and all those jokes along with those times singing. It is a blessing to have met you and we will never forget you. We love you Phillip Dry

Phillip wasnt just my older brothers bestfriend, he was our brother. He was family. Always laughing, and smiling. Making jokes and turning the cloudiest.days into the sunniest! Theres soooo many memories I could share, that Ill cherish forever but they.all come down to one thing...a good time, a ton of laughs, and family! That grin, that you just knew he was up to no good ((90% of the time lol)) was just like his Daddy Johnnys :) His voice when he sang, youd never expect if ya didnt know him but he could belt it out loud and proud!! It was a family trait for sure just as the jokes and sense of humor were. Skinny as a bean pole, but I remember watchin him, my brother Scott, and their friend Dave Pike toss down large pizzas, order of crazy bread and a 2 liter of soda EACH on a regular basis!!! The Van :) two words thatll.make anyone who knew him smile and chuckle from a memory!!! Ace Of Base playing WAY TO LOUD threw the open windows ((and sometimes sliding door lol)). Van surfing was a sport to those boys!!! I wouldnt be so tough if it wasnt for Scott and Phillip, they shaped me into the little tomboy I was and "roughed me up" for my own benefit :) My thoughts.and prayers are with the family, and Phillip will never be forgotten, he touched everyone he crossed and amazing only begins to describe him!!! Unique and one of a kind for sure! I love you Peapecker!!!

My husband had the pleasures of knowing Phillip very closely through the years and allowed me and my children the opportunity to share in this life changing experience of knowing him. Phillip was very close to all of us and will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace and may we meet again when the God Lord calls our number up.

Phillip was so nice and a really good guy. He will be missed dearly. I pray for the Dry family in these tough times, and I hope that you always remember the good times and the funny things he may of done or said when you think of Phillip. Thats what I try to do when thinking of my dad makes it a little bit easier to cope with. I remember the last time I saw Phillip he was in front of me in the 7-11 in Havre de Grace.. he turned around and said "Sandy Brooks.. how ya been ? then said... your looking good and sure are pretty" We talked for a few minutes.. I also told him that he looked like he was doing good also. He made my day that day just with those few kind word and it was so good to see him again. After that I've thought of Phillip and wondered what he was up to or where he was at... and thought i would always see him around sometime or another.. I am very sad that he is gone and very sad for the Dry family. May god give them comfort and peace.. that heaven has a beautiful kind, caring angel now. Lots of love to you all Sandy Brooks
