I can't believe it has been 10 years since his passing. Seems like yesterday that I would see him at the antique store. He is still missed.

Reta, I just learned today of the death of Phillip. I had not stopped by the store in over a year to speak to him and Sherrie. I did not even know he was ill. As you know we are first cousins, although I am much older(age 76) I remember him at our grandmother and Grandaddy Champion's house on Bear Creek Road. Love to your family.
