Sorry to hear about Phil's passing. I didn't know about it until just recently. It sounds like he had a full life.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

So sorry to hear about Phil's pasing, and sorry to be so late here, just heard about the sad news. Like Jon Wilson, Phil and I were classmates, teammates, and good friends all through Junior and Senior High School. We lost touch after that, but it sure is obvious that Phil had a great life with a wonderful family and many great friends. We will all miss him very much.

My condolences to Phil's family and friends. I knew Phil through the USMC, and always found him to be very professional and courteous. He worked very diligently to get funding for a number of planning projects at Parris Island…a task that all existing/future Marines will benefit from and appreciate. Thank you, Phil.

I am So DEEPLY, deeply sorry... Phil certainly left the world a better place than when he started. He was just a terrific person with a kind and gentle heart. He had such an artistic talent truly a gift from God. You are all in my prayers. I am sorry I could not make his funeral. God Bless!

Rebecca and family,
I am so sorry to hear about Phil.  We worked together in Norfolk for many years.  In addition to being a talented architect, he was a great guy with a tremendous sense of humor.  Whenever I think of Phil, it brings a smile to my face.  He will be missed.

Hi,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss.  Phil and I were in Junior and Senior High together.  He was one of my best friends then, but sadly we lost touch.  He was really a great guy.  A lot of fun to be around.  A quick wit but always with a kind word.  Sorry to miss the memorial service in Middletown, I just now found out.

Rebecca and family. So sorry to hear the sad news. I'm a 2nd cousin to Phil. Haven't seen him since our late teens.
