I am so sad to hear about Phil's passing! I think we all looked forward to seeing him in the main lobby, he certainly brightened everyone's day. My sincere sympathy to the Wheeler family. We will miss you so, rest easy and keep looking out for us, Mr. Phil

Phil was a truly wonderful, kind, caring man. As a volunteer working at the main information desk I always felt safe knowing Phil was there watching over the main lobby. If he saw that I needed help with anything he was right there to assist in anyway he could. He was fun to be around and always quick with a joke. My husband and I have lost a good friend. May he RIP. Prayers to his family. May they find peace in their grief.

Wow where can I start..... I remember those days years ago when he went from housekeeping to security. he was so very happy and humbled.A gentle giant he was, I used to tease him when he bopped down the hall with his special walk, i called him Deputy Dog, he got a kick out of that.... My God just knowing he no longer is here with us is painful, but i believe he is at Peace...Rest Easy Phillip
