Phil was a real character, full of stories and history. He took great pride in his family and adored his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren who will always call him Papa. He was my father-in-law and I listened to his wisdom and advice for almost 40 years. May he rest in peace.

Mr. Fry was a great neighbor for over 10 years. He and his wife always kidded with me about being their daughter. They also shared lots of wonderful memories of their life with me. They were very committed to family and loved them very much.
