Dear Ann and Family,
We were deeply saddened to learn of Phil's passing this morning. (Modesto Bee).

Ann,
My deepest condolences to you and your family. I worked for Phil in Modesto, and he shared with us news from home and family regularly. It was evident that his family meant everything to him. Again, my sympathy and prayers go to you and yours.

Ann, We were so sorry to hear of Phil's passing! For those of us who worked with him here in Modesto, we will always remember his great sense of humor and big smile! Plus, he taught me how to play craps....I can remember him drawing the craps table on a little piece of paper & teaching me how to bet. Ann, we will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers!
