Philip W. Dardine passed away suddenly on March 29th, he was 85 years old. Phil was born and raised in South West Philadelphia and moved to Aldan, PA after getting married. He started his career as a professional diver and swim team coach at the Center City YMCA. After getting married, Phil became a union bricklayer, serving as superintendent on many of Philadelphia's construction and restoration projects throughout the 70's and into the late 90's. He owned a maintenance business after retiring as a bricklayer. For the past 15 years he has worked as a bailiff in the Delaware County Courthouse where he was known to "hold court" in the court house cafeteria. He was a passionate motorcycle rider and took an annual trip across country for several years and rode across Europe on his motorcycle while he was in his mid 70's.
