We are very sorry to hear of Phill's passing. I would like to share some memories. I frist saw Phil, though I didn't know who he was, my first day of high school. I didn't know that the tallest and most handsome boy on campus would later become my brother-in-law. My husband, Phillip Asbury and I had many good times with Phill. We enjoyed his intelligence and wit. Phil was able to laugh at himself: We were all still teenagers when Phil told of hearing a possible burglar breaking in. Phill ran courageously out into the dark to investigate, armed only with a very small steak hammer!
We appreciated Phill's patience in helping and teaching Adam early, giving him a good start in life.
Live is short but let's all meet Phill again in heaven, through faith in the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Love, Phillip and Rebecca Asbury, Willcox, AZ
