Not sure what to say?





I had the great pleasure of meeting and getting to know Phil in Rancho Mirage, CA, a year ago. He had a heart as big as his smile which was exceeded only by his willingness to help others. I was very fond of Phil and am deeply saddened to hear of his death. Happy trails to you, my friend, wherever you may be...

I knew Phil since he was my neighbor in 1978. He was a really nice guy. We didn't hang out much together, but our paths managed to cross every year or so. I'll miss running into him; sorry to know that won't be happening again.
