I just found out about this tonight. I am deeply saddened. There is nothing worse than a parent losing a child, nothing. Please know that you have many who are feeling for you, including myself. May he rest peacefully and may you derive the strenth to endure this loss.

I hung around with Phil a lot in high school. He was always so nice and always had something funny to say to make me smile when I was feeling down. I haven't seen him in so long, and now I wish I had. So long my buddy.
