Before introducing Kevin Warren as the Bears’ new president Tuesday, chairman George McCaskey hailed retiring president Ted Phillips for his loyal service to the organization and a job well done.
‘‘Our family is indebted to Ted for all he has done for us and for the Bears,’’ McCaskey said. ‘‘He was the first non-family member to hold the title of president and CEO of the Bears, but he is as close to family as one can get. And even though he’s leaving us soon, he will always be part of the Bears family.’’
