Dad I miss you every day

Tait: Cindy and I send our deepest sympathy. Phil and I worked together for more than 20 years. He truly was a gentle person and a GREAT friend. He will be truly missed.

Tait and family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm truly saddened in learning of Phil's passing. He was as kind of a man as could be, with a ready smile and a genuine warmth. A trusted and a true friend to my father, I cherish the many memories of such a wonderful man, as he touched our family in a truly positive way.
Tammy, Chuck, and the entire Weigel family,my sincerest and heartfelt sympathy at this time. Prayers of comfort to you all.

I am so sorry to hear of Phil's Passing. He will be greatly missed at the pool by many. Over the years we have had many laughs during our visits while we swam. He was a kind hearted, man who cared about everyone. My thoughts and prayers to Tait and the whole Weigel family. A better man you could never be found. Miss you Phil!!!

Thank you all for your kind words. I doubt Phil had any idea how many people cared about him. I was fortunate to have him 39yrs.
