YORKTOWN To say that Phil Bowditch was a busy man would be an understatement.
A local broker for Bowditch Properties and Family Properties, Mr. Bowditch was heavily involved in the community and, though he resided in Newport News, his name and face were well-known in Yorktown.
He served on the vestry at St. Stephens’ Episcopal Church in Newport News and played an active role in many of the church’s activities. A religious man, he was also known to carve wooden pocket crosses and hand them out to people.
According to his obituary, Bowditch was previously involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America and served on the board of Watermen’s Museum in Yorktown, which his mother founded to preserve the heritage of the waterman trade.
