Though we are saddened by his passing, we feel fortunate to have known him and will be forever grateful for the impact he and his wife had on our organization. Rest in peace dear friend!

I had the pleasure of meeting your father during his many years of volunteering at Encompass Early Education and Care. A strong leader, Phil treated everyone and their opinion with respect while working for the good of the agency and the children served. He was genuine and clung to the values he knew to be true. I admired him because he was passionate about improving the organizations he helped. He sincerely cared about the community he lived in. I remember his laugh being contagious and I always enjoyed his quick quips that were classic. I am sorry for your loss.

My condolences to the family in your time of grief and my prayers to you for your loss. I first met your parents at UWGB. They attended activities of the German Klub I started there and Phil was an advisor for th AIESEC Club, an International Business Club. He helped us not only with advising but took on a student intern for his company and advised other Green Bay companies to do so. We took National Honors in 1974 with 13 students, beating out Harvard, Brown, Yale etc. Then when I had a head on and was in the hospital trying to find housing for these students, your parents volunteered to take a German speaking student. They were so helpful and friendly, I will always remember their generosity. God be with you.
