• Phillip Alan Carlton Phillip Alan Carlton, aged 41 of Lorain, OH transitioned on November 4, 2016 as the result of a pedestrian/car hit and run incident in Springfield, OH. He was born May 17, 1975 to the union of Mansfield and Jewel Carlton. Phillip was a 1993 graduate of Clearview High School. Prior to relocating to Springfield, he attended LCCC and worked in the book store. He was a student at Clark State University in Springfield and worked as a server at Frisch’s Big Boy.
