SARATOGA SPRINGS — Phillip Alexander Frolish, a life-long resident of Saratoga Springs, passed away peacefully on April 30, 2023, at the age of 22 with his parents by his side. 

Phillip is survived by his parents, Alex and Tina Frolish of Saratoga Springs; his brother Peter (PJ) Frolish II; his paternal grandmother, Laura Frolish of Saratoga Springs; his maternal grandparents, Paul Singer and Jan Taylor of Herkimer; his uncle, Nicholas Frolish and aunt Jennifer Frolish of Saratoga Springs; his uncle Peter Frolish and aunt Amy Frolish of Schulyerville; his close cousins Sebastian (Ash), Christian (Chiho), Noah (Gabriella), and Samuel Frolish, along with several extended family and friends. He is predeceased by his paternal grandfather; Peter Frolish, and his great-grandmother Marion Taylor.

Phillip was born in Glens Falls on February 9, 2001. He was a 2019 graduate from Saratoga Springs, a former Double H camper, and a past recipient of the South High Marathon. 

Phillip was funny and caring and really knew how to tell a good joke. His dry sense of humor was one of his most distinctive attributes and was known to do a stand-up act during many Double H talent shows. He not only enjoyed spending summers at Double H, but he enjoyed skiing there during the winter months. For a short period, he was the host of his own YouTube channel, The Goofy Wheelchair Guru, where he would try gadgets and taste test new foods with his family. He was a well-known fan of all sports, especially football and baseball. During his time at Saratoga Springs high school, he could be found, alongside his brother, cheering on the Blue Streaks at football, basketball, and baseball games. He loved to travel and visit new places, especially Boston and Disney World. He had a love for the Boston Red Sox, Saratoga polo, and food. For anyone who knew Phillip, when he entered a room, his presence was always known; there was never anything quiet about his entrances. He always wanted everyone to know he was there. He also had a big heart and would always show concern for others, especially when he saw someone sad, he would try and make them feel better. He will be deeply missed by his friends, family, and all who knew him.

At the request of the family there will not be any services. There will be a celebration of life at the convenience of the family. Donations may be made in Phillip’s name to Double H Ranch or the South High Marathon. 

The family would like to thank the Saratoga County Sheriff’s, Community EMS, Rock City Falls FD, and Saratoga ER for all of their help and efforts. The family would also like to thank Community Care Pediatrics for their years of care, especially Dr. Cirenza. 

Arrangements are under the direction of the William J. Burke & Sons/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Homes, 628 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs (518-584-5373). Online remembrances may be made at burkefuneralhome.com

BALLSTON SPA — John T. Jensen, 62, passed away on Sunday, April 2, 2023. He was born in Schenectady, NY on November 25, 1960 to Troels and Marjorie Jensen.

John was a graduate of Middlebury College, majoring in Art and Philosophy. He earned an MFA from the Weitzman School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania.

He was aware of the beauty of the natural world from a very early age. His first words as a baby were “Pretty sky!” He grew up to be an artist specializing in landscape painting. He also employed his art in landscaping, mainly in Philadelphia.

He enjoyed meeting people around Alaska, where he did archaeological work in many remote villages. John was working in a village that started to flood rather quickly. By the time he got to the airstrip it was taking on water. The pilot of the last plane to leave offered a choice. “I can take your gear or you, pick now.” The plane blew a tire upon landing in Fairbanks and slid off the runway. John was a little rattled and not very reassured when he was given a T-shirt as compensation for the lost gear and the exciting landing.

He was predeceased by his parents Troels and Marjorie Jensen. John is survived by his siblings Anne Jensen (Glenn Sheehan), Peter Jensen, and David Jensen, and his niece Justine Sheehan.

At John’s request there will be no services. Memorial contributions in memory of John may be made to Saratoga Arts, 320 Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866. www.saratoga-arts.org
