I have been looking for you for awhile. I am sorry to find you here. We had the most fun at JCCs theater, doing plays hanging out sharing our lives. I got married and moved to Atlanta. You had family here and moved down and you and my husband Thomas became great friends. He is gone where you are and I know you all are cutting up. You were so proud and happy when you had Georgia. I wish I had had a chance to know her. You are loved and missed.

I have been truly blessed to have known Phillip and to call him my friend. Phillip was one of the kindest and most loving persons I have ever met. I met Phillip when I started working for Signature Healthcare and we almost instantly became friends. He treated our patients and all of his coworkers with the utmost dignity and respect and excelled at his job being one of the strongest leaders I have ever seen. He could brighten a room with his smile and always went above and beyond to make people happy. He shared so much of himself and he inspired me and will continue to inspire me as long as I live. Yes, I have been truly blessed that God chose to place Phillip in my path. He shared with me many stories of his family, which he loved so very much and lifted me up with his faith in God or sometimes just a kind word. I will miss his presence here on earth and I will miss his sweet singing. I rejoice that he is now an angel in heaven, but mourn for his family and all those touched by him. I wish to extend my deepest, heartfelt sympathy to Phillip's family. May God hold you in his arms and comfort you during this time of terrible loss and grief.

a loved one

Phillip,

I remember you as a very nice young man who was respectful, giving and very thoughtful. You accomplished so much throughout your 60 years and touched so many people along the way. You will be so sadly missed down here on earth, but so welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven. "Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not heal". I wish to extend my sympathy to the Phillip's family.

RIP my friend, so hard to believe you are gone . I can count all my true friends on one hand and you were at the top of that list even though we had not seen each other since we were in Germany 40yrs ago now but the monthly phone calls and the laughs we shared made it seem like we were in the same city. When we last spoke on Friday evening and you were more concerned about my wife spraining her ankle than you were about tour own condition is a true testament to thw selflessness you represented. Rest my dear brother because you are on stage in God's heavenly band.
