Niki , Donna, and Sherri, and Felix, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Phil. He was a great friend of mine. I can remember growing up with him and staying over his house. My name is Steve Fournier or as he use to call me Stevie. I called his parents Aunt and Uncle. His dad used to chase me around the house. I used to play cards over at Felix and Betty's house with him. I really enjoyed the times I had to spend with him and enjoyed it when he came to the class reunions. I pray that the good memories help you all get through this tough time. RIP old friend.
