I'm so sorry to hear of Phil's untimely death. I was the first OPA president to have a full 12 months of his superb help.
He became a personal friend enjoying jazz in Columbus with me.
His death is a tremendous loss.
May you be supported by your fond memories.
With loving thoughts,
Mary and Dan Deutschman

Evie, Steph, Greg, and Chris,
We will all remember the magic tricks, spontaneous music, quick wit and caring interest in what we are doing. I will miss our Santa Claus every family Christmas. Thank you Uncle Phil for playing a very special part in my very happy childhood.

All Ohio psychiatrists are indebted to Phil Workman for the many things he accomplished through his expertise and winning personality. I was honored to be the first of 21 OPPA presidents with whom he worked to improve the image and functioning of our professional organization.
