Philip S. Pride Jr., 89, of Bridgton, died early Thursday morning, Nov. 3, 2022, at the Casco Inn where he had been living for the last six months.

He was born on, Feb. 15, 1933, in Portland, a son of, Philip S. and Emma May (Roast) Pride, Sr. He attended Portland schools and enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps after high school.

After the service he met and married, Alice Louise McGill. They made their home in Westbrook in house that he built himself.

Phil was a master craftsman in many forms and has made everything from jewelry to airplanes. He loved to work in his shop and could just plain and simple, “do it all.” He crafted canes, knives, jewelry and was handy with stone.

Phil built a second home for he and Alice on Collins Pond in Windham where they lived for several years before relocating to the Kansas Road in Bridgton in the third home he built (at age 70).

Phil is survived by a son, David and his wife, Lori Ann of Bridgton; a grandson, Shawn Pride and his wife, Lauren of Bridgton; a brother, George Pride and his wife, Shirley of Falmouth; nieces and nephews; lifelong friend, Bob Burrill of Windham, who for the last few years was kind enough a couple days a week to take Phil out for rides that he so enjoyed.

He was predeceased by his wife, Alice in 2006; a son, Philip James; a brother, Richard.

A funeral service for Phil will be held at 10 a.m., Friday, Nov. 11, 2022, at the Hall Funeral Home in Casco. Interment will follow at the Blanchard Cemetery in Falmouth. Condolences and tributes may be shared with Phil’s family and friends at www.hallfuneralhome.net.
