He is also survived by his two granddaughters whom he loved dearly, Cecelia and Christina Gimmarro.

Phil loved life, he retired from the US Post Office and made the most of retirement. He loved all sports… Hockey, Basketball, Baseball, Football, and he loved his Royals but rooted for the Cards too. What he enjoyed most was golfing, fishing, and spending time with his kids and granddaughters. He will be missed by so many and forever loved. Come on People!
