I was shocked to hear of Phil's passing. I met Phil when I first started work at Sperry in the 70s. We played on the same softball team. Phil was always so outgoing with his contagious smile and laugh. We kind of lost track of each other in our later years. My sincere condolences to Phil's family.

I worked with Phil in the Sperry indicator area and knew him in the softball league. He was someone that I was always able to count on to get a job done. A very skilled and capable person and he will be missed by many. I am stunned by this loss.
