I can't begin to tell how many times, and without condition, Phil was there for me in our times together and apart.

You were so much more than my uncle. You were my friend and confidant before you were my uncle. You always welcomed me with kind words, a tight hug, and a warm smile. You introduced my parents and shared your family with me. I thank you for all that you did for me and will miss you until we see each other again.
