Lots of great memories of Phil. Starting from the "home repair" class he created when I was in high school. He started it when he saw so many of us sitting in an early morning study hall with nothing to do (we all did our homework the night before) to photography class and more while in and after high school. So glad I got to keep in contact over the years. He was a great person and will be greatly missed. Hugs to all of his family!
