Phil treated everyone like they were the most important person on earth. He was truly an inspiration to all. The adversity he faced didnt seem to phase him in the least and he lived life to the fullest. I will truly miss Phil. May God bless and welcome him with open arms. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Moynihan family. Sincerely and with love, Steve
