Dear Joe and Bud. I was so sorry to hear about the passing of my dear friend, Phil. I have wonderful memories of the years we spent working together at Delta. Through our friendship, I had the privilege of meeting his wonderful family.
I am in Florida, so I will not be able to attend the services, but my prayers are with you during this most difficult time.
My Love
