Tim- I know what a good friend you were to Philip and vice versa. We had many a laughs when the two of you visited me in Southern CA. Cherished memories indeed. I heard there was a need for a florist in the mansion above and it needed Phil's touch. May those he touched in this life keep on bloomin'! I treasure our time together then and memories of Phil and look forward to the same in the future!

Love,
Kevin

Philip was a great friend of mine. He had a lot of friends in Orlando. We all have missed him. Philip would enjoy the transformation of our house renovations. We would take the ugly and give it a new life. I had also had worked with ATA Airline. Philip said " My bags are packed" when I asked him to go on alot of trips over the years.
