Dear little brother Phil,
My heart is sad that you left so soon but I have great memories of all the wonderful things we did together. I remember the time at the ocean we had caught so many fish and the tide was coming in and I had to push you up the rocks and carry all the fish as you were still just a young man. We made it little bro.We have had a lot of great times together.We played risk,went to easy street,the Elks,camping,boating,and just enjoying life together. Thank you for being my little brother! I remember being at your house recently and I'm talking about your sister,my wife and you said Doug don't you remember she was my sister before she was your wife? And you started to cry and said can we please stop talking about Marge it hurts me! So now you are with your sister please take good care of her for me Phil. I really enjoyed going to your home and having holidays with you again and all the barbecues and Traci being the liquor police! Also watching all those home movies of us all and I got to see my beautiful Marge again. Like you say everyone will have to pull their little red wagon! Give my wife a big hug and kiss for me please! I love being your big brother goodbye my friend until we meet again in paradise!Love ya,Doug Cupples

Shaboom shaboom ladadada shamboom shamboon ladadada. I could be a dream if I could take you up to Paradise up above. If you would tell me I'm the only one you love. Life would be a dream sweetheart . Good night Phillip Sweet dreams. Margie and I had to sing this song to every night for you so you could go to sleep. This is the last time for me but now you will see Margie and she will continue to sing your bedtime song.

Phil it's been years since I have seen all of you and sad that it has. I do think often of all my childhood friends that were so much like our family. You and your family will always be treasured memories I will cherish in my heart forever.

Rest in peace Phil- so sorry to hear the news of your suffering and passing. Your family has been friends with ours for 40 years and we will miss you. Thankfully, I have many years of great memories that Lisa, Joan, John and I can recall when we think of you. I had a great visit with them last week and though they are sad, they are glad you are no longer suffering. Have fun up there! You've got some great company. I can see you and Durwood now!
With love,
Julie
