Not sure what to say?

When I first met Phil at Nucor he was a little quiet sort of like he didn't want to get to know me but as time went on and we worked together some all that changed. All I had to do to have a nice long conversation with Phil was ask if he had any nice bucks on camera and I couldn't wait to see his reaction it was like a switch came on and it would be on for an hour. He was a smart electrician and I learned a lot of stuff working with him over the years and I feel like I'm a better person...

Phil you will be missed! Our talks of Penn State football and the insight you brought were second to none. Never did Phil give up on figuring out a solution to a problem and keep us running! Every time I come by a bolt to tight to loosen, I will think of you and smile! May you find peace as God has taking you into his arms!

I spent a lot of time with cousin Philip when we were children. Even though we didn't stay in touch as we got older, the fun times we had have always been good memories for me. His sense of humor was always a source of entertainment for us as kids. He'll be missed.

Phil was a dear friend and valued colleague whom I had the privilege of sharing several years with in the Navy. Together with Gary, we served our country and created countless memories while visiting many countries. Phil's passion for the Pittsburgh Steelers was unmatched, and he loved sharing the team’s history with everyone. His infectious smile and unique sense of humor brought joy to those around him. My heartfelt prayers go out to the Felgar family during this difficult time. Phil will...

Phil was truly one of a kind. His contributions to the Nucor team's overall success and growth cannot even begin to be measured or understated. No matter how big or small the problem or certain challenge the team was facing, we could always count on Phil to navigate us out of trouble with his unparallel determination, curiosity, and humility. And the icing on the cake was his quick wit and dry sense of humor that left us all in stiches. Phil, God BLESS YOU, brother. You will sincerely be...

Remembering the first time I met Phil was in passing shortly after I started at Nucor. We walked by each other and I spoke to him just saying hello. Phil looked up at me, never breaking stride, and said nothing. He just kept walking. He was a hard nut to crack but eventually I did. We became friends over the next 20 years and I learned that he loved to hunt and he loved professional football. He was a walking history book of the NFL and could tell you names of players, what teams they...

Godspeed, Phil. Working with you was a pleasure both professionally and personally. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

There are people that come in to our lives that make an impression that will never be forgotten nor would ever want to be forgotten. Phil was absolutely one of them. I have so many good memories with Phil at work and even more outside the gates. He was a great shift partner and teammate but more important, a great friend. His laugh, his stories, his telling stories through his laugh and then having to re-tell them so we could understand him, his iron clad memory and his ability to relate any...

Phil and I worked together for several years at Nucor Berkeley. His unique sense of humor routinely made me smile and laugh when he would stop in to talk. I remember several times that I needed to turn to face him to figure out whether he was joking and to find a huge grin on his face. You will be missed.
