Maija and family...We are so sad to learn of Phils passing. Edgar and Phil shared many great moments in business and indeed a great friendship. My children remember your children while you visited our home. It is this month 24 years since Ed has been gone and we still miss him big. How blessed you and I have been to have them in our lives. God bless you and your family
