Dear Toni,
We were saddened to hear of Phil passing. I first met Phil in Nevada while I was just a teenager when he started to work for Gibbons & Reed in 1957 with my father Harold Higgins we enjoyed many years of friendship with him including 2 years at Spokane Washington and and later in Utah till his retirement .Phil was always fun to be around .He was a craftsman with his welding and every project that he worked on . He had a dog at one time named " old shep which accompanied him in his truck . He treated all his animals included horses like they were kings .He showed his love to Val and later to Ester before their passing . Phil always had a sence of humor always laughing and sharing a good joke . He was like a second dad to our family. I was happy to see him enjoy life with Toni and seeing him enjoy St. George and the may trips they made together
He always will be a Giant in our lifes.and thank him for all he has given us !
