Philip Jordan Ames, 91, died peacefully on December 19, 2021, at Harbor Chase Assisted Living Home in Palm Harbor, Florida.
Phil attended University of Maine at Orono where he obtained a BS in Electrical Engineering. Upon graduation, he joined the US Army’s Signal Corps, 3rd Infantry Division, and served his country in the Korean War, receiving a Bronze Star for distinguished service as a wire operations officer.
Phil spent 30 years with General Electric Company in various sales and marketing positions, both domestically and internationally. In 1983 he returned to Maine, built a home in Georgetown, and started Ames Personnel Consultants in Brunswick and Waterville.
Phil remained active in his community, volunteering for a Habitat for Humanity thrift store, fundraising for community charities, and serving as President of his HOA. He enjoyed traveling, boating, fishing, and golf. In his younger days, Phil loved playing the trumpet and listening to big band music provided tremendous joy throughout his life. Phil’s heart was always in Maine…when speaking of Florida, he often said “Good lobster rolls are sure hard to come by down here!”
Phil’s daughters are grateful for the loving care provided to him by the staff at Harbor Chase for the last three years of his life.
