Over the last 10 or more years I got to know Phil as
a teammate , opponent and all around nice guy. The Brandywine Softball league Players will miss him , he was one of us and represented what senior softball is all about. He will be received with open arms by his other teammates in Heaven, they have a special spot for him to join their team.
May he Rest in Peace and I extend my deepest sympathy to the family on his passing.

We wiil always remember Phil Anders as a friendly and kind man, although we saw Nancy more frequently than Phil . JB worked on the HMGC House Committee with Phil and remembers him as an active worker who did whatever he could to make things run smoothly. He will be missed, and JB and I will remember him in our daily prayers.
