Drew, I'm truly sorry to learn of the death of your dear father. Please know I'm thinking of you and your family. XO

Phil was a true Southern gentleman,a good friend and a joy to work with. He will be missed.

Though we did not know him long, he was our neighbor. I always admired him as he always got up to go to work. He would always come home the same time I came home from work. He spoke often of his family . And was happy. Our heart Andy prayers goes out to the entire family. He had a full life and you can tell he loved life.
Our condolences
