Phil you are truly missed. I am going to miss your calls, the same way that I miss the way you listen to me, or bring me food when I was working. I love to cook for you, you always praised my cooking even though I thought it was not so good. Over the last few days I have picked up the phone several times to call you and let you know what is going on here. You will truly be missed my dearest friend, you took me under your wing and helped me through some of my darkest days...I loved you like a brother and you will remain in my heart always. Thursday night I went to the dock and sat their drinking a beer just for you, wishing I had a chance to say goodbye and tell you how much you meant to me and most of us at Republic Parking. You earned your wings, now soar with the eagles.
