Phillip Peter Olden

Mr. Phillip Peter Olden, age 81, passed away on January 10, 2024, surrounded by family.

Phil was born in Cincinnati, OH to Janice Olden and Art Sacchetti, and was later adopted by Walter Olden. He graduated from Colerain High School in 1960. After high school, Phil enlisted in the United States Navy, serving for 2 years. Upon his return, he married Julianna Halterman of Hamilton, Ohio on October 24, 1964.

Phil never knew a stranger, and was loved by everyone he met. His sarcastic nature and deep love for kids will be missed by all who knew him. He is no doubt, relaxing with a Manhattan, in his boxers, in his arm chair.
