Phil was a very good example to new people joining PGMS. He was a gentleman, friendly and always had a pleasant word for those he encountered at meetings. He will be missed.
My condolences go to his family.

Phil was a most pleasant person, easy to be around and always with a kind word. He made the world a better place.

Phil was a gentleman for the ages and an exemplary role model for incoming PGMS members. His "old school" manner served him well. Soft-spoken, courteous, a good judge, never judgemental; he treated everyone with equal respect. Ready and willing to take on detailed projects, he especially loved sharing his treasure trove of knowledge about the history of PGMS. Our organization has been blessed to have Phil Lee as an advocate for so many years. We will really miss his sage advise. Condolences to all of the family.You lost a really good man.
