ROCHESTER - Philip L. Belliveau, 92, died on Wednesday March 12, 2025, at The Haven at Lee following a period of failing health.
Born May 8, 1932, in Amesbury, Mass., he was the son of James Belliveau and Marie (Jutras) Dufresne.
Philip worked as a manufacturing engineer for Davidson Rubber, later known as Textron. In his free time, he enjoyed playing golf and woodworking.
