I cannot believe that my uncle Phil is gone. He was an extremely generous and kind soul who loved his friends and family deeply. He and John were perfect together and would give you the shirts off their backs if you needed it. I am going to miss my uncle more than words can say. He was a truly awesome, fun-loving, caring person. Jasmine and I love you so much and miss you so much already. Rest easy my wonderful uncle.
