I used to help Phil at his home many years ago. He was a kind, thoughtful, generous human being. I remember helping him write his checks to charity every Saturday morning. I helped him tend his vegetable garden and he showed me how to grow all kinds of vegetables. He loved his Swiss Chard and blueberries. I will always remember his beautiful old Rolls Royce that he took me for a ride in on a hot Saturday afternoon. I will always remember Phil ,such a perfect Gentleman. Phil may you rest in peace, the world is not the same without you!
