Dear Carole: We were saddened to hear about Phil. Our good/mutual friends the Meixells sent us Phil's write-up in the paper and had kept us informed of any news with the Sullivans. We shared some good times thru the years and will always remember them even though it's been sometime since we were together. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Tim & Barbara King

Dearest Carole, Phil was a great person! He cherished you and your family. He will be deeply missed. Phil was always outgoing and loved people. He always loved to have a good time and blended in well with people he didn't even know. He was a crowd pleaser. He is in God's hands and will suffer no more. He is at peace and one day we will all see him again. It was mine and Frank's pleasure to have known Phil. God Bless you. We love you.

Phil was a wonderful neighbor. He will be greatly missed. I know Gizmo and Nestle will truly miss their buddy Phil! There was never a dull moment with Phil, as he added spice to life!
