Philip Dant Obituary
He was the son of the late Ralph Emmett and Agnes Louise. Phil loved hard and had a big heart. He enjoyed his time being on the farm around the horses and listening to his favorite artists Bruce Springsteen and John Mellencamp.
Phil owned and operated his own carpet installation business for over 35 years. He was known for being a hard worker and honest man, always making sure the job was done right.
A loving brother, Phil is survived by brothers and sisters, Stephen, Mary Jane, Regina, Edward, Mark, Kevin, Dennis, Gregory, and Keith. He is preceded in death by his sister Donna. He is also survived by his grandson John Joseph and numerous nieces and nephews.
His children plan to spread his ashes in his favorite locations. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the GoFundMe for his dog, Cassie Dant - gf.me/u/zccsjw.

I so remember Phil, Velvet and Greg from the days in high school, if we could only just go back to those fun and free days for a moment. My sincere thoughts to the entire Dant family.
