Rebecca and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Philip's passing! We use to have some great times in high school at Lanier and then later on in Macon when we would talk about Auburn and my beloved Dawgs.
Philip was one of my best friends when we were at Lanier. His friendship was something I always valued. He was a good man, a great husband, father, and grandfather - one of the best.
He is with his Good Lord now and is surrounded by God's Angels. RIP Philip.
Your friend,
Jim

I am sorry to hear of Philip's passing, Philip did some building demolition for me and always did a good job. I remember we had a old safe in one of the buildings we didn't want , I told Phillip he could have it if he could get it out. He darn near tore the building down getting it but Phillip got it out. May God bless Philip

We met Phillip when our son Jason married into the family. He always had something to add to any conversation and more often than not, his input was always on the humorous side. We will miss you friend.

My wife and family will sincerely miss seeing Phillip on our annual trips back to Macon for Holidays. His good nature and appreciation for life itself were indeed pleasant to be around. I will always recall his wide range of topical interests as well as his continued faith in the Auburn Tigers. Knowing of his faith in the Lord, I'm confident I will see him again!

My condolences on your loss. I am thinking of you during this difficult time. I fondly remember the times that my mother, sister and I visited cousin Philip in Macon when we would visit my grandparents (my mother's parents) in Perry. [I am the older daughter of Patricia Willis who is Philip's cousin.]
