Barbara,Clay,Dale and Phillip,I am so sorry for you all in losing Phil. He has moved on to a much better place where he will no longer have to worry with his health problems. While we worked together at the park, he taught me so many things that one can not learn on their own. Phil could fix anything and he would help anyone.A wonderful man he was! Love you all!
