Not sure what to say?

We did not know Mr. Phillips, but we know Karen, Dennis and some of the family. Just knowing what wonderful people they are certainly explains the wonderful husband and father he must have been. Our deepest sympathies to the family.

I did not know Mr. Phillips. I am a very good friend of one of his daughters. I am sorry for the loss that this family is feeling. It is difficult but I know that they find strength to go on. Karen, may god bless you and your entire family.
Love, Shirley

Dad was a great influence in my life. He taught me to be a strong and responsible citizen. He let me learn through my mistakes, ever supportive of my independent nature. Having married a military man myself, Dad gave me a good background to support his sense of duty and honor to country. I love and will miss him dearly.

Deepest Sympathy for your loss.

Ken was a man of honor and his word. When we worked together at Amway, you knew if Ken said it was fixed, it was! Being combat Vets we shared a silent bond of brotherhood. I will miss Ken's smiling face, jaunty walk, and robust laugh. For truely, he was and is one of America's finest sons of Freedom!

A Soldier's medal is an honor from his country but he was a bigger hero to me than that. I'll always look back with warm memories of rubbing his bald head as he worked on model planes. I'll never forget the smell of waffles in his kitchen when I was a kid. I'll always be sorry he didn't get to meet my own son (due November 20). I will miss him.

We love you Grandpa and will miss you dearly!

Dad was a hero to me in later life. When I was growing up, he was gone a lot, being in the military. But, he always made sure that we were safe and provided for during his absences. I learned as an adult that these times were not easy for him either, but he had a duty to perform. I love him and will miss him greatly.
