Not sure what to say?

Phil was a most remarkable man. His straightforward, humble manner, belied the incredible insight and depth of thought he possessed. I enjoyed working with Phil as he is one of the few who challenged me, inspiring me to think more deeply about problems and more creatively about solutions. He was always kind and caring.

When Lisa informed me of his passing, I felt a deep sorrow. The world, particularly the world of chemical engineering, is a lesser place without him.

Phil was kind enough to allow my family and I to rent his ranch out by Manor for many years, which we enjoyed. It was a peaceful place, and he and his family's generosity has not been forgotten.

He was a mentor to many, including me when I first came to Radian in 1990. He was a fine man and I am grateful to have worked with him. I am praying for your comfort during the hard time of losing a loved one.

I Just received word. I am so sorry for your loss. We live on Ladin Lane and loved chatting with him when he would stop his bike ride. I will never forget his kindness and smile and how much he loved his beloved, Bonnie. My father was Philip as well and my dad met him several times when visiting from San Diego. I know you will miss him dearly, what an amazing life. Sincere and deepest condoloces. Geri Gabriel

Phil was one of a kind. My thoughts are with Lisa and the family at this sad time.

my dear brother thank you forever for adopting me
i love you with all my heart

Piper and extended family, I send deep sympathy and condolences on the loss of your husband, father, grandfather and friend. I had the pleasure to meet him once or twice and will never forget what I thought was a permanent twinkle in his eye. May God give peace and comfort.
