Phillip Louis Rosselli

Phillip Louis ‘Phil’ Rosselli of Warminster, PA, and a proud veteran of the United States Navy, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, at the age of 70. Phil was the beloved husband of the late Patricia A. (McCloskey) Rosselli, with whom he shared more than 47 years of marriage. He was born on November 20, 1954 in Philadelphia, PA, son of the late Joseph F. Sr. and Virgina (Rominiecki) Rosselli.

Phil loved nothing more than spending time with his wife, kids, grandkids and his beloved pets. His happy place was Buttonwood Beach with his friends and family. He loved a bottle of red wine, cracking jokes, collecting coins, cheering on the Philly sports teams, fishing and working on classic cars. From his early childhood, Phil displayed his passion for cars by rebuilding many from scratch, continuously working on his credentials as an ASE Master Technician and by taking over and running the family business, Rosselli’s Automotive, until his retirement in 2021.

Starting in the early 1980s, he rebuilt and continuously worked on his beloved 1969 Cutlass Hurst Olds, which he would proudly display at local car shows and occasionally race at ATCO raceways. In recent years, his projects included a classic, 1971 Porsche 911 - perfect for a Sunday drive, and a beautifully restored white 1980 Corvette. He just recently purchased his dream car, a blue 1967 Corvair
Monza Coupe and was eagerly awaiting its arrival. He was passionate and proud of his hobby and hoped to one day pass his love of cars onto his grandchildren. His favorite companion, a loyal and energetic Doberman named Nikki, who he called "my girl” was by his side until the end. She will certainly miss her best friend.

Phil is survived by his loving daughters: Nikki Thomas and her husband Jack, Patti Sam and her husband Theo, Phyllicia Greatwich and her husband Philip, and his seven grandchildren: Jake, Ryan, Mia, Brayden, Emma, Lucas and Jaxon. He is also survived by his brother Joseph F. Rosselli Jr., his sister-in-law Diane Poehler (Brian McGill), his nephew Michael Poehler, and other extended family.

In addition to his wife and parents, he was predeceased by his beloved in-laws and best friends Liz and Bill McCloskey, brothers Mark and Michael Rosselli, and sister-in-law Mary McCloskey.

In keeping with Phil’s wishes, there will be no traditional funeral service. The family will hold a private celebration of life to be announced at a later date.
