Alfred Michael “Alfie” Phillips, 83, of Green Cove Springs, FL passed away Wednesday, December 1, 2021.  He was born in New York City to the late Phillip Phillips and Ruth Finfer Phillips.  Alfie’s career as a real estate broker took him many places throughout the United States, including New York, Miami Beach, New Jersey, California and Georgia, before settling in Florida 15 years ago.  Before beginning his career in real estate, Alfie was a trader at the stock market.  He was an avid tennis player in his younger years and enjoyed collecting coins.  Alfie enjoyed living life and loved telling stories of his life to his friends and family.  He had an adventurous soul, always taking his own path and making his own way.  His great sense of humor and beautiful blue eyes will be remembered forever.
