Phil was such a nice man. He was also my "hommie." I spoke with him on Sunday, May 30th. When I returned to church on Sunday, June 13th, his name was in the bullentin. I couldn't believe that he had passed on to glory.He had given me words of inspiration as he was preparing a repast for the Rubidiri family. No one could have told me that would be our last conversation. Blessings to his family and friends. Silva Reynolds Pleasantville, NJ

Phil was so perfect. He was the kindest person you could ever find on the earth (other than grandma Brenda). There was no hate in this man. He took care of my grandmother (Brenda Watson) and he showed that he always cared. He was a great man and he always took care of me and my brother (Matt). I remember all the time that we slept over my grandmother's house, he would always make us breakfast, see if we were hungry, and he would also take care of us when we were down. It's not about us.It's about the other kids he has taken care of as well. Phil was a really caring man and he never made anyone upset. I miss him so much and I will think of him always.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Weeping may endure for a night,
But joy comes in the morning-Ps.30:5
The good thing about this is, the way
that Mr. Phil lived, and more importantly, his relationship with the Lord. He touched alot of lives.

My deepest condolences to the family. May God comfort and sustain you all during your time of bereavement.I worked at ARMC with Mr. Phil, and will ALWAYS have fond memories of him. He was an awesome man of God, who exemplified every "fruit of the spirit" to everyone he encountered. We shared many prayers, conversations and encouraging words because Mr Phil loved the Lord. He was well respected by his co-workers. A genuine person and inspiration to everyone. I pray that the family will continue to find strength in God; who is our refuge, as they celebrate a life well lived. "Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal." Mr. Phil's legacy lives on.God bless you all.
