Judy and family; I am saddened to hear of the home going of Phil. He was a dear man and such a positive influence when we worked together. I regret not seeing him recently. I would have attended services today if I had heard of Phil's passing earlier.

Judy - so sorry to hear of Phil's passing. What tremendous memories I have of playing modified fast-pitch softball with Phil on the Calvary Church team about 25 years ago. We had a group of twenty somethings playing and Phil was our "senior" by many years but we happily gave him the ball as our #1 pitcher. Who would have guessed that such a quiet and gentle man would be such an aggressive and effective pitcher? Of course, he was always humble and just enjoyed the games - we are blessed to have so many great memories of that time in our church softball family. As I think of Phil, all I can do is smile.
