Phil B. Padgett II died Jan. 28, 2016, in Springfield, Mo. At a later date, Phil's cremated remains will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. Some ashes will be returned home to Montana for burial while the remaining will be returned to a favorite spot in Colorado.
Phil was born May 13, 1943, in Evansville, Ind., the son of Phil B. Padgett, a career veteran of the U.S. Army Air Corp, and Ester G. (Sprinkle) Padgett who, as a civilian, dedicated 42 years of her life to the U.S. military.
As a young man, Phil attended schools in San Antonio, Texas, and enlisted in the U.S. Navy in August 1961. Phil graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1968, earning a bachelor's of science degree in marine engineering and naval architecture. He retired from naval service in April 1991 with the rank of commander.
Phil served our country with pride and distinction as the commanding officer or officer in charge of YP 622, Naval Boiler Technician School, Service School Command Great Lakes Detachment Philadelphia, Pa., Mobile Training Team 1, and Eastern Pacific Mobile Training Teams, as well as serving as chief engineer or executive officer of USS Edson, USS Meyerkord, USS Robison and USS New Jersey.
He taught ship handling and celestial navigation at the U.S. Naval Academy. He served as N4 on the staff of Commander Destroyer 17 under Capt. Roger Coffey and served as N66 under Vice Adm. George Davis on the staff of Commander Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet.
Of Phil's naval service, he was proud that he had been given the opportunity to serve and he did his job well. His highest recognition of service in the Navy was the Meritorious Service Medal.
During the summer of 1999, Phil completed a master's degree in education in human resources training and development from Idaho State University. He then began a second career as a consultant in data base design and management, then a third career as an assistant professor at Bismarck State College teaching students who aspired to pursue careers in power plant operations related occupations. He hoped that all of his students understood that "… their ultimate success in life will be taking charge of their own learning" and he hoped that he had contributed to their success.
During his teaching career, Phil used data from power plants and refineries coordinated with the U.S. government's Instructional Design System model, to standardize BSC's energy technology curriculum. The curriculum is now owned by BSC and directly supports people in the workplace.
Phil was humbled and honored to have been awarded the 2010 North Dakota Professor of the Year awarded by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and support of Education. Testimonial letters from students, colleagues and NECE administrators supported Phil's nomination. They described Phil as a dedicated educator who mentored and coached his students using a highly effective hands-on approach that integrated "real life" using one-on-one, role-play and project-based teaching methods.
The past couple years, Phil resided in Springfield, Mo.
Phil was preceded in death by his mother, Ester; and his father, Phil.
He is survived by his loving family Dr. Michelle D. Olsen, Springfield, Mo., Clari Ann Olsen Bahr (Emma Lee, Brandon), Carrolton, Mo., Shirley A. Groff, Marvin Hunt (Stacy Henry), and Delbert Hunt, all of Montana; his daughter, Lynn Padgett (Jeff Litteral), Montrose, Colo.; a son, Brian Padgett, Los Alamos, N.M.; his sister, Sheryl L. (Padgett) Brown (John), Orlando, Fla.; and several grandchildren.
