I worked for Sperry Flight Systems under Phil. I really liked and respected Phil. One remembrance of Phil was around 1988 when Phil visited Gulfstream in Savannah, Ga. I was living in Savannah supporting the development of the SPZ-8000 system on the G450 at that time. May Phil RIP.

I worked with Phil upon my transferring into Microelectronics Packaging during the Space Shuttle development at Sperry Flight Systems. Phil was a highly intelligent engineer respected by anyone that knew him. It was my pleasure to work beside him and for him during my years in Microelectronics. He was a great mentor and good friend and I will miss him. May he rest in peace.
