A wonderful man, Phillip M. Flammer, passed away August 20, 1999 after a long struggle with Alzhiemer's.
He was born June 20, 1928 in St. Johns, Arizona to Hans and Arizona Gibbons Flammer. He married Mildred May Wehrwein July 13, 1954 in the Logan Temple. He was an active member of the LDS Church where he served three stake missions and as a Branch President and Bishop. He served a full time mission in the Swiss Austrian Mission, where he met Mildred. He received his Bachelors degree at Utah State, his Masters from George Washington and his PhD from Yale. He retired from the Air Force as a Lt. Colonel after serving as a pilot and a professor at the Air Force Academy. He was a professor of History at Brigham Young University and was professor of the year in 1976.Above all Phillip's greatest joy was teaching, both the gospel and academics. He was loved and appreciated by his students and those he came in contact with because of his love and compassion for everyone. He was able to impact the lives of others, spiritually, academically, and physically. He was truly a disciple of Jesus Christ, and displayed this in every aspect of his life. He is deeply loved by his family.
Survivors include his wife, Mildred; and his children, Matthew Flammer, Julie (James) Parkin, Tracy (Michael) Cull, and Lisa (Robert) Anderson. He is also survived by two brothers, Gordon and Steve; and four sisters, Regina, Coralie, Mary, and Diane.
