My deepest condolences to the Rhoads family and friends. I know Garrett, and I believe I met Philip at least once, during those RISK tournaments we both attended years ago. May Philip rest in peace.

Jane, Debbie and I extend our sincere condolences on your loss. I have fond memories of bantering and trading jokes with Philip almost every time he passed by. I will miss seeing him at Waldheim.

Phillip you were well liked. Your kindness to me will always be remembered.
I really enjoyed your company & conversation at the annual RISK Championship gatherings. The times we got together to make arrangements for various things to do were great times. I remember traveling to your print shop many many moons ago (1991) Your friends & Family will certainly miss you, but knowing that El Shaddai made true on his promise to bring you home gives me peace. Get that game ready because someday I know I'll see you again my friend! Jesus called you home Phillip, I know you are at rest now. Your Pal, Steven P.
