To the Family of Phil...
I always enjoyed Phil's stories. He would come in and see me at Dick's Floor Covering years back. He would share humorous and delightful stories of his youth. He was a good friend and a great guy as you are well aware. He will be missed.

The Ausland family sends their deepest sympathies. Phil always welcomed all of us boys into his home with a warm smile, and firm handshake, and an occasional, "What kind of no good have you been up to?" He and Cathy were regular fixtures at all of our football games, baseball games, and wrestling matches throughout our childhood. A good man all around from my perspective. Myself, and my mom and dad are keeping you all in our thoughts during this tough time.

One of the first families I had met in Paradise. Many memories with Phil, Cathy and Joe. Phil always had an interest in what I was up to and was contempt to sit with me and catch up on things. Phil is a good memory and will stay that way in me. Good laughs.

Via con Dios, Phil
