Phil was one of the first people I met when I was at Elmhurst College. He was 100% genuine, funny, smart, and was quick to smile. Phil was an old soul and you learned from just talking to him that he adored his family.
I was on the women's tennis team so we immediately started to play at least once a week. Phil was a really good player and competitive on the court so we had good matches. After graduating I would stop and see Phil a few times at the Odeum when I was in the area. Phil was always welcoming and we picked up chatting like we just saw each other yesterday instead of 10 years ago.
The world lost a beautiful soul on June 20th.
My deepest condolences to all of Phil's family.
May he rest in peace.

Our deepest sympathies to the entire Greco family and extended family. So sad to lose the nicest, kindest, most generous person that walked on this earth. Phil´s heart was larger than the Odeum and was kind to everyone he met. You will be missed by so many.
