Phil was a special guy, and while his time with us was way too short, his memories will last far longer than his years. I have many, from ping pong matches, his imitations of "Fred", and talking travel, but my most definitive is playing golf with him, mostly at White Pines. Phil, thank you for all you were to everyone, we will miss you! Wheelz
