I graduated with Al from Lanier High in 1949. I have seen him a few times over the years. We never got a chance to talk about the old times and I hoped to see him along with others at the 50th class reunion coming later this year. I know he will be missed.

I knew Dr. Phillips as a customer for eyewear. He was appreciative, humble and probably the most gracious person I ever had the pleasure of knowing. My condolences to his family in this time of loss.
