Obituary notes for Philip Guy NOURSE
Indian River Press Journal (FL) (Published as Vero Beach Press Journal (FL)) - August 18, 2010
Philip Nourse, 87, died at his home of 59 years. He was born in Cleveland, OH and moved to Ft. Pierce in 1929.
He graduated from Ft. Pierce High School (1941) and then received his law degree from the University of Florida (1949). During his school days he was active with the local Boy Scout group and for years held the record of 61 merit badges. He was proud to attain Eagle Scout status. He also served in the US Army during World War II, and during that time, took correspondence courses from John Hopkins. During his professional career he was in private law practice, served as an Assistant State Attorney for the four-county area, and retired as a Circuit Judge for the 19th Judicial Circuit Court.
In retirement, he was an adjunct Professor for Indian River State College. He also owned and operated St. Lucie Abstract and Title Insurance Company with his father Guy Oliver Nourse and his daughter LeVan Nourse Fee for over 50 years. He has the record of over 50 years as the longest standing member for the Ft. Pierce Rotary Club, served as past President of the St. Lucie County Bar Association and was a member of the St. Lucie County Chamber of Commerce.
He had many personal interests including extensive traveling, motorcycles, airplanes, boats, construction projects, and all around piddling. He was always proud of his extensive tool collection that all had to have yellow handles. His proudest construction project was the building of his swimming pool in 1957 that he personally built with the help of only one other person.
He was an affectionate husband, father, grandfather and friend.
He leaves behind his wife, Jimmie Louise Nourse, of 63 years; daughters LeVan (Speedy) Fee and Jimmie Anne (Rick) Haisley; grandchildren Hank (Jenny) Fee; Matthew DeRoss; Blake DeRoss; Tim (Seran) Fee; Mike (Susie) Fee; Richard II(Rochelle) Haisley; Lee Anne (Luke) Verdegem; Quinn Haisley engaged to Chris Wheeler and Whitney Wirth Sirvent; and great-grandchildren Grace & Addison Fee, Peyton & Alyssia Fee, Austin & Julia Fee, Seth & Kye Haisley, Brody & Keegan Haisley and Madison Sirvent. And last, but certainly not least, he is survived by his loving dog Phoenix and his two independent cats Ace and Boots.

FORT PIERCE -- Retired Circuit Judge Philip G. Nourse , 87, died Monday at his home of 59 years following an extended period of ill health. Nourse was also a former assistant state attorney, a World War II Army veteran, and one of the first young men to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout on the Treasure Coast.
One of the 118 founders of the Florida Bar in 1950, Nourse and many of the other founders were honored by the Bar during ceremonies in Boca Raton in 1999.
"He was a sometimes controversial attorney but a good judge," recalled retired Circuit Judge C. Pfieffer Trowbridge, who was chief judge of the circuit when Nourse became a judge. He served on the bench from 1976 to 1986.
Nourse was also active in the business and social life of St. Lucie County. He owned and operated St. Lucie Abstract and Title Insurance Company, was president of the St. Lucie County Bar Association, and was a member of the Fort Pierce Rotary Club and the St. Lucie County Chamber of Commerce.
Nourse , a graduate of Fort Pierce High School, said in a 1999 interview that a three-year tour in the Army during World War II convinced him of the need for a good education. He took correspondence course during the service from Johns Hopkins University and received a law degree from the University of Florida in 1949.
Nourse is survived by his wife of 63 years, whom he met while in the Army, Jimmie Louise Nourse ; two daughters, LeVan Fee and Jimmie Anne Haisley, nine grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren.
A public visitation is scheduled 5 to 7 p.m. at Haisley Funeral Home at 3015 Okeechobee Road, Fort Pierce, with services scheduled for 3 p.m. Thursday in the funeral home chapel. Entombment will follow in Riverview Memorial Park.
Friends may contribute to the Humane Society of St. Lucie County, Treasure Coast Hospice, Indian River State College or Indian River Presbyterian Church.
