Our prayers are with the Yanok family. We were so sad to hear about Phil. Phil was our Orkin representative for many years and he was such a kind and generous man. We enjoyed hearing about his family. He definitely shared with us about how much he loved all of his family and how proud he was of his children. We will miss him greatly.
Many Blessings,
Trisha and Jeff Troyer
