Hey Phil I will so miss you and your cousin Eric all the fun times we had in class at Independence High School.

We are alive in the 90's.With your music we are happy.I see you in 1994.

I can't believe this. Last time I saw him - I had to move my car - he looked so healthy. Too young and so much talent. I am soooo sorry for your loss. Stay strong.

Diana and family, we are so very sorry for your loss. I knew Phil when we were much younger and he was legend then. It is a sweet testament to his life how much he is loved and missed. Our prayers are with you all.

It was an honor to work with such a talented vocalist and songwriter, you will be missed my brother

Is not easy to saying good bye to someone you love, but I'm sending prayers to the family. I just want to say I truly enjoyed his music and his music will always live on. Much Love xoxo

Rest in paradise brother. I will always remember the tours and hanging out. We had many good times and many laughs along the way..
