I enjoyed working with Phil on the various hospital boards. He was a mentor and role model to me. The hospital is a better place today because of his efforts and service. Brad Pihl

Dear Dru and Family -
I am very sorry for your loss.
Phil was a wonderful, generous, and caring person. The many talents and gifts he shared with the community -and with CDH in particular - will live on forever. He was a very special man who will be greatly missed.
Warmest regards,
Paul Pyrcik
