I too am saddened to learn of the loss of an old friend. We came to know each other At Grandview Jr. High and went on to Hickory High. Phil and his Dad did a lot of work for me, my Dad and family, and was always kind, thoughtful and fair. You will be missed old friend. I pray for peace and strength for the rest of the family.

Dear family of Phil,
I had the pleasure for the past 27 years of knowing Phil and , his Hickory Exxon family. He was always a cheerful face, and committed to his family and business. Since leaving Hickory over 17 years ago, I came back to the familiar place where the "hometown" friends would go over and beyond to help me, this past winter. Just like old times, when I pulled in the Service Station, Phil was there to greet me with a how ya been, good to see you back attitude. I have to say, my last time to speak with him was fun, laughter and old time memories we spoke of. I will miss you, Phil. Denise Reep (Holbrook) is how he addressed me, just a good guy that treated all with his passion to help. Always, Denise
