Phils friendship was special. The first day George met Phil he felt as if he'd known him his entire life. Phil was his "bud" from day one. He knew more about music than anyone we've ever met.
Phil lived a great life, you can see from pictures throughout his life he lived a happy and content life. He had a huge heart and was happy making other people happy. While its still very hard to accept, we light a candle for you, we love you malak. Always in our hearts. G&K

Marty at least I got a chance to talk to him before he past last week. I got the case of beer for him and he was a dear friend and neighbor . I enjoyed all the movies he gave me and support as a friend in my divorce. He will always be missed. Was a fun guy.

Marty;
What fun memories he has left us. Always joking about something.We always loved to tease him about the brand of beer he was drinking, and as always he had a comeback for everything. Just a fun loving kind of guy who would do anything for you. Will miss seeing him with Keith at Patty an Uncle Jacks. Will keep you in our prayers, and may the fun memories help you through this difficult time..
