Phil always greeted with an enthusiastic, friendly smile. Phil got a lot of pleasure out of showing off his bee-raising operation of which I was a thankful recipient.

Phil was so kind and generous and fun to be around. He was interested in gardening and he asked me to save garlic seeds for him. He knew we wanted to get started with raising mason bees so he took us to a class and got us started. He sometimes popped in to pick up my donations of clothes to distribute to those in need on his "Meals on Wheels" route. His happy presence will be greatly missed.

Phil was one of the kindest human´s. When I saw him last, he surprised us with a visit during one of his many outings with Meals on Wheels. He cared deeply about those in need, which is representative of who he was. He will be missed.
