I'm very sorry to learn that Phillip passed away. I was involved with Phillip in one of his business ventures as a client and enjoyed working with him and he was kind enough to give me tickets to some Oilers games back in the late 1980s. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones.

Losing a loved one is never easy, but our loving god promises to give the strength and courage you'll need to endure, and to cope with the pain of your loss. He also promises to hold your hand every step of the way. (Isaiah 40:29, 41:10, 13)

So sorry to hear about Phil...He was a great friend of many years. I really enjoyed seeing him last year for our class mini-reunion and having dinner with him. We shall all miss him!

We spent many great days in the field hunting Whitetails. I enjoyed the conversations the words of wisdom and the fun times passed on by a crusty old Texas cowboy. He said never get dropped off always keep the truck and now hes gone on ahead. I will miss him for awhile.
